Because Oakland City University is working diligently to resume undergraduate operations for the 2027–28 academic year, we want to give you maximum flexibility:

• The Safe Harbor Track: You may join us as an integrated guest student for the 2026–27 academic year. To the extent that we can, we will align your courses to match OCU’s graduation requirements. If OCU resumes undergraduate operations in Fall 2027, we will facilitate a seamless transfer back to your home campus.
• The Permanent Tiger Track: If you prefer stability or decide that DePauw is the right permanent home for you, you have the option to stay. You can seamlessly convert to a permanent bachelor of arts or bachelor of musical arts student at any point during the year and complete your DePauw University degree when you have fulfilled those requirements.
