Officially, the transformation took place on 10 February 1996. In 1999, the academy was transformed into the Oryol State Agrarian University. In 2015, Oryol SAU became a member of the Eurasian Association of Universities. For many years (1982-1986, 1994–2008, 2010–2016) Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nikolai Vasilyevich Parakhin, was the rector of the university.
