Questions and Answers
Complete and submit the waitlist offer form to indicate whether or not you would like to be on the waitlist. If you accept a spot on the waitlist and later decide otherwise, please contact our office at [email protected].
Notifications regarding waitlist and admission decisions will be sent no later than July 31. (This could be earlier, if possible.)
No. If we are able to admit you to the university, only then will you be asked to submit your Intent to Register (ITR) through your Application Status Portal along with the $200 Advance Tuition Deposit (ATD).
No. There are a variety of factors that will influence the composition of the waitlist, including who decides to join the waitlist, who cancels, and how many admitted students choose the University of Oregon by May 1.
You should provide updated grade information for your first term of senior year (mid-year grades) by updating the self-reported transcript and academic record system (STARS). You can do this via the link in your Application Status Portal. At this point in the process, new information will not change your status on the waitlist.
This is a difficult question to answer because each year the group of applicants is different. Below is a four-year history of the UO waitlist. Remember, the past four years may not predict this year.

The Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships sends financial aid award letters to admitted students only. If we are able to admit you and you submitted the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the UO, you will receive your financial aid award letter after your admission letter.
If you are admitted from the waitlist, then you will be able to log into the housing registration and register for housing. Housing assignments are prioritized on a first-come basis.
If we are able to admit you to the UO, you will receive information about our summer orientation program called IntroDUCKtion. IntroDUCKtion programs are held throughout July and August.
