Advisers guide you in formulating your educational plans, and help you to translate your goals, interests, and career aspirations into an effective education. Your adviser will help you understand the academic requirements that give structure to your study.

[Back to top]

.

.

If you have declared a major, your academic department will assign—or allow you to choose—an adviser from that department. If you have not yet declared a major, you will also be assigned an adviser, from the College of Arts & Sciences or from the Office of Academic Advising. All students are encouraged to seek regular advising assistance.

[Back to top]

.

.

If you don’t know the name of your adviser, check the View Student General Information screen on DuckWeb. If an adviser is not listed, contact your major department or see the list on Declared Major Advising. If you are undeclared, contact the Office of Academic Advising at 346-3211.

[Back to top]

.

.

You will want to meet with your adviser regularly. Many students find it helpful to meet each academic term. It is important to plan ahead and not wait until busy registration times to arrange a meeting.

[Back to top]

.

.

Many classes require participation, and final grades incorporate a mark for attendance and participation. Large lectures usually break down into discussions or laboratories, which occur in small groups where participation is expected. It’s always a good idea to join in whenever class participation is invited, and do remember to visit each professor each term during office hours.

[Back to top]

.

.

It is always useful to get to know your professors. Professors keep office hours, and the times and locations will be on your syllabus, usually distributed on the first day of class. Office hours are a good time to discuss ideas generated in class, to clarify assignments, and to share common enthusiasms with professors. Eventually, you may well be asking professors for letters of recommendation, and strong, specific letters require that your professor know you as well as your work.

.

Yes. If you return the next term you can simply register for classes along with UO continuing students. If you are away for more than three terms (not counting summer), you will need to file a Re- enrollment Form with the Office of the Registrar. These forms are available online or in the Office of the Registrar. Courtesy suggests that you notify your adviser of your plan to take time off. If you are receiving financial aid, be sure to discuss the implications with a financial aid counselor. You should also discuss your plans with the Housing Office if you are living in university housing. Summer session allows an opportunity to make up some classes missed during the regular school year.

• Freshman status requires 0-44 credits
• Sophomore status requires 45-89 credits
• Junior status requires 90-134 credits

When you register for a course, DuckWeb automatically selects the graded option for classes where variable grading is available. If you wish to take the Pass/No Pass option, click "Change Variable Credit/Grading Option" at the bottom of the page. To make a grading option change for a course with an associated section, such as a lecture course with a lab or discussion section, use only the CRN of the lecture. In other words, change the grading option for the lecture but not the lab or discussion associated with the lecture. See the academic calendar posted on the Registrar's web site for the deadline to change grading options (select Academic Dates & Deadlines).  Remember to view your class schedule in text format to confirm that the changes you make are correct.

.

.

Dead Week is the week preceding final examination week. During Dead Week, no exam worth more than 20% of the final grade will be given, with the exception of make-up examinations. No final examinations will be given under any guise. No projects will be due unless they have been clearly specified on the class syllabus within the first two weeks of the term. Take-home examinations will be due no earlier than the day of the formally assigned final examination for the class in question.

[Back to top]

.

.

You should review the schedule of final examinations on your DuckWeb schedule prior to registering to avoid conflicts, or if you wish to avoid multiple examinations on a single day. If you are scheduled to take MORE than three examinations in one day you may take an examination(s) as a make-up exam(s) at another time in the week. The Office of Academic Advising in 364 Oregon Hall will counsel students with multiple examination problems. You should contact the Office of Academic Advising at least a week BEFORE final examination week.

Look at the list of when to register by going to the Registration Priority Schedule, which is available on the Registrar's web site. Priority for registration is determined by the number of credits you have completed. The more credits you have completed, the earlier you are able to register. For example, seniors (students who have completed more than 134 credits) register before sophomores (students who have completed 45-89 credits). Your registration time will also vary each term according to the last three digits of your student ID number.

[Back to top]

.

.

Make an appointment with your adviser to discuss requirements and develop a schedule. Some students make a tentative 4-year plan. You should plan to take Writing 121 and Writing 122 or 123 your first year. It is a good idea to begin a second language for a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or your Math and/or CIS for a Bachelor of Science (BS), and complete most of your General Education classes, before your junior year.

.

.

A PAC is your personal access code. It ensures the security of your academic and financial records. Used with your student ID number, your PAC is your password to registering for classes and for using DuckWeb.

[Back to top]

.

.

The first time you register as a regularly enrolled student, you will need not only your ID and PAC, but a "registration PIN" as well.  Your adviser will provide you with this PIN after you have attended an academic orientation and been advised by a major adviser or an adviser who works with undeclared students.

[Back to top]

.

.

The Office of Admissions provides you with your PAC when you apply for admission. When you first use your PAC, you will be asked to create a security question. If you have problems with your PAC, visit the Office of the Registrar in 220 Oregon Hall with your photo ID.

.

Your adviser will give you a PIN after you have participated in an academic orientation and advising session. If you forget it or have trouble registering because of the PIN, please contact the Office of Academic Advising at 346-3211 or come to 364 Oregon Hall.

Registration for all new students occurs as a part of a New Student Academic Orientation. Orientations for students admitted for Fall term include the May Advising Day for transfer students, IntroDUCKtion (in July), and Week of Welcome (in September). The Office of Academic Advising also coordinates mid-year orientations for students admitted for Winter, Spring, or Summer terms. It is mandatory for all admitted undergraduate students to attend a New Student Academic Orientation. You will not be permitted to register for classes without attending an advising program. Additional information on New Student Academic Orientations can be found at http://advising.uoregon.edu/AA_Pages/AA_NewUOStudents.html.

[Back to top]

 Should I attend IntroDUCKtion?

.

       Yes! If you are admitted as a freshman for the fall term, you should
        make every effort to attend IntroDUCKtion. At IntroDUCKtion, students
        receive an introduction to general academic and graduation require-         ments for the university. You will also have the opportunity to meet                 with a departmental or undeclared adviser who will help you select      
        classes for the upcoming term and clarify the registration process. After         you meet with an adviser, you will register for Fall term courses in a
        campus computer lab.
       

  What if I am unable to attend IntroDUCKtion?

       If you are unable to attend IntroDUCKtion, you are required to come to
       Week of Welcome, which occurs in September. Week of Welcome is your
       final opportunity for orientation, advising, and registration for fall term.
       You will attend an academic advising workshop and an individual
       advising appointment before you will be able to register for your classes.
       Information about Week of Welcome is mailed to new students in August.
       Week of Welcome information is also available at      
       http://orientation.uoregon.edu/SO_Pages/SO_WeekOfWelcome.html

How do I choose my classes?

       New Student Orientation is mandatory for all new students. You will
       attend a workshop, receive a packet of important information, and get
       academic advising, during new student orientation. After completion of
       the first term at the UO, you are still encouraged to meet with your
       academic adviser regularly, but especially prior to registration. The earlier
       you contact your adviser and schedule classes, the better chance you
       have of getting into your preferred classes. Call early to set up an
       appointment.

.

You will use DuckWeb to register for classes. DuckWeb is a web-based application that allows students to view and update registration and personal information. To get help to register, go to the Office of the Registrar homepage.

.

.

Four academic courses (a total of approximately 15-16 credits) are recommended per term. You must register for at least 12 credits to be considered a full-time undergraduate student. Some students may take more or fewer credits depending on their interests and whether they have other time commitments including jobs, family, and/or commuting.

Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), Military Credit, and College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) allow students to receive college credits. AP and IB tests are given to high school students. For the most current listing of how these various credits transfer to the UO, please visit the Office of Admissions web site at http://admissions.uoregon.edu/freshman.html

.

AP, IB, CLEP, and military credit are awarded P* (Pass, no option of a letter grade) grades and count toward the 168 ABCDP* hours requirement.

.

Advanced Placement credit: For AP, only scores of 4 or 5 are considered for credit for most AP exams beginning in fall 2008. A score of 3 receives credit only on selected AP exams. Refer to the Advanced Credit web page at http://registrar.uoregon.edu/students/advancedCredit.html for further details.

.

International Baccalaureate credit: For IB, only scores of 5 are considered for credit.

College-Level Examination Program credit: A national College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) allows students to earn college credit by taking general exams in humanities, social sciences, and sciences, as well as subject exams. The general exams are limited to those who have completed fewer than 90 college credits.

.

Military Credit: As recommended by the American Council on Education’s Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services, and in accordance with University and State policies regarding transfer credit, the UO generally grants credit for military educational experience.

Official Materials: For information on sending official copies of AP, IB, CLEP, and/or military work to the UO, look at the Advanced Credit web page and contact the Office of Admissions.

.

.

Yes, it is, for some courses. Students who are admitted to and enrolled at the UO can challenge undergraduate courses—with the approval of the department—to earn credit by examination. While you can sometimes receive a grade for a Credit by Examination exam, it will not count toward your GPA. For more information, consult the Advanced Credits on the Office of Admissions web site and contact the Office of the Registrar.

Once you are admitted as a UO student, but before you attend a new student orientation, you should receive a Transfer Evaluation Reportand a Degree Audit from the Office of Admissions. These reports will show you how your previous college coursework has transferred to the UO. You should use these tools for planning future classes and bring them to your scheduled orientation session. See the Student Handbook for more information.

.

Read the sections on UO Transfer Evaluation Report/Overall UO Transfer Summary and look at your Transfer Evaluation Report via your Degree Audit.

.

See the Office of the Registrar's web site for Transfer Equivalency information. Access your Transfer Evaluation Report and Degree Audit on DuckWeb.

.

It is important that you verify that all of your credit has been transferred through the UO Office of the Registrar. If you take classes somewhere other than the UO, be sure to submit an official transcript to the Registrar.

Yes. In order to graduate with an undergraduate degree, you must choose and complete a major.

[Back to top]

.

.

A list of majors and minors appears in the Student Handbook and the UO Catalog.

.

Note that while most majors allow undergraduate students to choose a BA (bachelor of arts) or a BS (bachelor of science), some majors require a BA, BS, BFA (fine arts), BArch (architecture), BEd (education), BIArch (interior architecture), BLA (landscape architecture), or BMus (music).

[Back to top]

.

.

Nearly half of all UO students are undecided about majors when they enter college. On average, students should try to declare a major by the winter of their sophomore year. This usually puts them in a good position to graduate in four years. However, if you are interested in a graduate program that involves a lot of classes in sequence for your undergraduate major (e.g., science courses in preparation for medical school), you may need to declare a major—or at least begin your math and science sequences—earlier in order to graduate in four years.

[Back to top]

.

.

Most students have plenty of time to consider potential majors during their first two years of college. Use your freshman and sophomore years to try different courses while fulfilling your general education requirements. In addition, take an elective course every term in something that interests you.

.

.

• Visit the Office of Academic Advising's (OAA) web site and click on Choose Your Major for other suggestions, inventories, and interactive activities on this topic.
• Attend an Office of Academic Advising workshop on choosing a major, which is offered fall, winter, and spring terms.
• Visit the Career Center in 204 Hendricks Hall, and take the “Majors Assessment;”  play the “Majors Game.”
• Visit the Office of Academic Advising, 364 Oregon Hall, and play the “Majors Game.”
• Ask yourself: What are my interests? What classes have I enjoyed?
  Do I have a career in mind? There is also information about choosing majors in your Student Handbook and in the UO Catalog.

.

[Back to top]

.

.

Go to the main office of the department that oversees the major you want to declare. Then, request an appointment with an adviser in that department.

.

NOTE: Some majors require a more formal application process. These include: Art, Music, Business, Education, Journalism, Architecture, International Studies, Family and Human Services, and Planning, Public Policy and Management. Students interested in these majors should meet with an adviser during their freshman and sophomore years to discuss requirements to get into these majors.

All undergraduate students need at least a total of 180 credits to graduate. (Some professional degrees in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts require more than 180 credits.) A minimum of 62 of the total 180 credits must be upper-division credits (300 level and above).
[Back to top]

.

.

Yes. Students are generally limited to taking 12 credits of courses “Pass/No Pass” if the course is also offered for a grade. Courses that are offered only as P/NP (without a grading option) are considered P* courses. P* courses do not count towards the 12 credit limit. Regardless of the number of credits you need to finish your undergraduate degree, you need to have 168 credits in which you receive an A, B, C, D, P*. (If you graduate with more than 180 credits, the 12 credit limit could increase, but the 168 ABCDP* credits would remain.) Check your Degree Audit to review your progress on these and other degree requirements.

[Back to top]

.

.

Courses that meet the multicultural requirement address the richness of human diversity and the opportunities and challenges of life in a multicultural society. There are three categories of multicultural courses designed to satisfy this requirement: American Cultures (AC), International Cultures (IC), and Identity, Pluralism, and Tolerance (IP). Students are required to take two multicultural courses and each course must be from a different category. For example, taking one course from the american Cultures (AC) category and one course from the International Cultures (IC) category would complete the multicultural requirement.

.

See your Student Handbook, Catalog, or Class Schedule for lists and descriptions of courses that meet the multicultural requirement.

.

A BA is a Bachelor of Arts degree. A BS is a Bachelor of Science degree. In many University of Oregon majors, students can choose to earn either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Science (BS). Some majors lead only to a BA or BS. To earn a BA, students must demonstrate proficiency in a second language. To earn a BS, students must demonstrate proficiency in math and/or computer information science. See the Student Handbook and the Catalog for more detailed information.

[Back to top]

.

.

How much foreign language do I need for a BA?

.

       To earn a BA, you must demonstrate proficiency in a second language         that is equivalent to two years of college work. This is usually done by            completing two years of a second language at the college level. These

       classes must be passed with a C-, P, or above. There are other ways to          demonstrate language proficiency, including an examination.

.

       See the Class Schedule, Student Handbook, and Catalog for more in-         formation. If you are pursuing a BA, math and/or CIS are not required,        unless they are required for your major. However, you may want to take
       math and/or CIS anyway. In addition, some Math and CIS classes count
       toward Science group requirements.

.

       [Back to top]

.

To earn a BS, you must demonstrate proficiency in Mathematics and/or Computer and Information Science (CIS). You can do this by passing the equivalent of one year of college-level work in mathematics and/or CIS with a C-minus, a P, or better. You may need to take up to five courses, depending on your experience in math and CIS. See the Student Handbook, Class Schedule, or Catalog for more detailed information.

.

If you are doing a BS, a second language is not required, unless it is required for your major. However, you may want to take a language anyway. Some language classes at the second-year level and above count toward Arts and Letters group requirements.

[Back to top]

How do I declare a BA or a BS?

.

       Once you decide to pursue either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor
       of Science(BS), you can declare your choice using DuckWeb. Log onto

       DuckWeb, select "Student Menu," and then select "View Degree Audit".

       On the upper right hand side of the Degree Audit, there is a drop down

       menu where either a BA or BS can be selected. Select your desired

       degree from this menu and click the "submit" button to complete your

       selection. Please note that the degree selection drop down menu does not        appear on the printer-friendly version of the Degree Audit.

.

It is recommended that you begin taking writing courses as soon as you are eligible your freshman year. WR 121 (College Composition I) has a priority registration schedule. Freshmen whose last names begin with letters A-G are encouraged to take WR 121 Fall term. Students with last names beginning with letters H-O should take WR 121 Winter term and letters P-Z should take it Spring term. It is recommended that students take WR 122 (College Composition II) or WR 123 (College Composition III) the term following the term they take WR 121.

.

If you scored a 470 or lower on the SAT Verbal Exam, or 18 or lower on the ACT English Exam, you may take a designated section of WR 121. These designated sections allow students to have the same instructor the following term in WR 122. If you are eligible to take a WR 121 designated section, you do not have to follow the alphabetic priority registration schedule. Students who score a 710 or higher on the SAT Verbal Exam or 32 or higher on ACT English Exams are exempt from taking WR 121. Students who score high enough on the AP English Language and Composition test may earn credit for WR 121.

Grade points are calculated by assigning points for each credit of a letter grade, as follows:

.

A+	4.3	A	4.0	A-	3.7
B+	3.3	B	3.0	B-	2.7
C+	2.3	C	2.0	C-	1.7
D+	1.3	D	1.0	D-	0.7
F	0.0

.

Marks I, W, X, AUD, and Y, and grades N and P are not counted in the GPA calculation. The GPA is computed by dividing the sum of points by the sum of credits of A, B, C, D, F. If a letter grade has a + or – next to it, then you add .3 points per credit for ‘+’ or subtract .3 points per credit for ‘-‘.

You can find your UO GPA by looking at your transcript on DuckWeb. To figure out what grades you need in one term to affect your cumulative GPA, you need to figure in GPA hours and quality points. GPA hours are the credit hours in a particular course, in a particular term, or cumulatively, that are taken for grades. Quality points are the number of GPA credit hours multiplied by the grade for a particular course, to get the GPA for that course. For example, a 4 credit class in which you earn an "A" (worth 4 points) is worth 16 quality points (4 credit hours x 4 grade points = 16 quality points). To determine your GPA for a term or cumulatively divide quality divide quality points by GPA hours to get your GPA for each term and cumulatively (Quality Points/Credit Hours = GPA).Here is an example. This student transferred to the UO in the winter term.She transferred in 46 credits; these do not affect the UO GPA.

.

See the graph below for winter term:

.

She took three classes, two of them for grades. She got a “B” (worth 3 points) in General Chemistry, which is worth 4 credit hours: 3 x 4 = 12 quality points.

.

She got a “D” (worth 1 point) in General Chemistry Lab, which is worth 2 credit hours: 1 x 2 = 2 quality points.

.

She took Modern Europe P/N (Pass/No Pass) so she does not earn any quality points in that class and it does not count in her GPA hours.

.

For the term she attempted 10 credit hours, earned 10 credit hours, and earned 6 GPA hours (4 for General Chemistry and 2 for General Chemistry Lab). Since she took Modern Europe Pass/No Pass, the credit hours earned for this course are not included when calculating her GPA.

.

Adding together her 12 General Chemistry quality points (4 x 3) with her 2 General Chemistry (2 x 1) lab quality points gives her 14 quality points. 14 quality points divided by 6 GPA hours = 2.3 GPA

See the graph below for spring term: She took three classes, but only finished two of them. She got a “C+” (worth 2.3 points) in Spanish, which is worth 4 credit hours: 2.3 x 4 = 9.20 quality points.

.

She got an “A-” (worth 3.7 points) in Introduction to Literature, which is worth 4 credit hours: 4 x 3.7 = 14.80 quality points.

.

She withdrew from Introduction to Economic Analysis so it does not earn any quality points or affect her GPA. For this term she attempted 12 credit hours, earned 8 credit hours, and earned 8 GPA hours. Adding together her 9.20 Spanish quality points and her 14.80 Introduction to Literature quality points gives her 24 quality points.

.
