New Students
IntroDUCKtion
IntroDUCKtion is our required new student orientation that allows incoming students, parents and family members to learn more about the UO including campus life, meeting other students, hearing from staff and faculty and understanding what it means to be a Duck. IntroDUCKtion sessions for summer 2023 are held at the end of June through August.

Transfer Information
The University of Oregon accepts transfer credit from regionally accredited colleges and universities. Credits earned at junior colleges and community colleges are always transferred at the lower division level. Credits earned at a four-year institution are transferred at both the lower and upper division credit, depending on what level the original course was taught.
Alternative Ways to Earn Credit
The University of Oregon has established programs through which students may earn credit toward graduation and, at the same time, decrease the cost and time required for standard undergraduate study.
Alternative Ways to Earn Credit
Placement Exams
