Fixed Tuition for Five Years: The Oregon Guarantee 

A college education is a big investment in your future. We want all students and families to be able to plan for that investment without worrying about cost uncertainty. That’s why we provide The Oregon Guarantee: when you choose the UO, the tuition rate you pay will stay the same for up to five years — no increases, no surprises.

The Oregon Guarantee

Cost of attendance is the estimated cost to attend the UO for the academic year. The Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships provides estimates for cost of attendance information that goes beyond tuition and fees, and includes: living expenses (housing and food), books/supplies/equipment, transportation, and miscellaneous personal expenses.

Add in vibrant student life and our beautiful Pacific Northwest location, and you'll find many compelling motivations to choose Oregon.
