With the passage of 2023's Senate Bill 3, beginning with the class of 2027, the Oregon diploma requirements will include 0.5 credit in Higher Education and Career Path Skills. The resources in this group have been curated by ODE content specialists and Oregon educators to supplement materials for courses that include Higher Education and Career Path Skills standards.
In case you missed it: the official opening of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is delayed for 2025-26; the US Department of Education has provided guidance that the form will open "no later than" December 1. This delayed opening will give USED's team a chance to roll out a soft opening and fix any residual and new issues.
