Registration Holds
DuckWeb displays your complete account status, along with any outstanding amount due. The account balance may not reflect charges assessed on the day you check.
You may check for holds on the DuckWeb Student menu; click on "View Holds." If you have a past-due financial account, a registration hold may block you from registering. You are informed of holds when you attempt to register and referred to the appropriate department(s).
Getting Started
Click on "Student Menu," then "Registration Menu." You can either click on "Add/Drop Classes" to add classes by entering the CRNs of the courses or you can use "Search for Open Classes" to find open courses. Enter your search criteria (subject, start time, day, general education requirements, etc, or combinations of these elements) then register for an open section by checking the box beside the course and clicking on the "Register" button at the bottom of the page.
Variable Credit Courses
It is your responsibility to obtain instructor and/or departmental approval before you change variable credits. DuckWeb automatically selects the lowest credit if a class is offered for variable credit. If you wish to change the credits of your class, click "Change Variable Credit/Grading Option" at the bottom of the page. You may change variable credit only in credit-bearing classes. If a variable credit lecture class has a noncredit laboratory, discussion, or activity section associated with it, use the lecture CRN to make credit changes.
Note: When variable credits are reduced, tuition refunds meet the same criteria as dropped courses. You may owe partial tuition if you do not reduce credits before the 100% tuition refund period ends.
Grading Options
To make a grading option change for a course with an associated noncredit section, change only the CRN of the lecture. DuckWeb automatically selects the graded option for classes where variable grading is available. If you wish to select the Pass/No Pass option, click "Change Variable Credit/ Grading Option" at the bottom of the page.
Grading Option Choices
When a choice is available, you may elect to be evaluated on either a graded (A,B,C,D,F) or a pass/no pass (P/N) basis. Classes offered pass/no pass only are noted on the final grade report as P*. Each department, school, or special program has its own regulations on pass/no pass classes for majors. Before exercising the pass/no pass option, you should talk with an adviser.
Confirming Your Schedule
You may review and print your term schedule in either a list format, where complete class information is displayed, or a matrix, a graphic format with less class detail. Click on "Next Week" or "Previous Week" buttons to navigate to a future term, or enter a date in the "Date" box.
Change Term
If you are eligible to register for more than one term you may process registration changes for multiple terms in one DuckWeb session. Select the term for which you wish to make registration changes using the term selection link at the top of the screen.
Confidentiality
To protect the confidentiality of your information, your name and UO Id number are not automatically printed on DuckWeb documents. An option to include this information on printed documents is available when you select the "name on" option.
Logging Off
Remember to log off of DuckWeb when you finish a session, especially if you are in a public computer lab. Click the "Exit" button on the upper right corner of any screen to exit.
For additional information contact the Office of the Registrar, 220 Oregon Hall, (541) 346-2935.
PAC Considerations
All students receive a Personal Access Code (PAC) via mail at the time of application to the university. PACs, along with UO ID numbers, give students access to information and services via a secure web site called DuckWeb.
The first time students log into DuckWeb, they are required to select a new six-character PAC containing both alpha and numeric characters and are required to set a security question which can be used in the event that the PAC is forgotten. Students may select a new PAC at any time by using the DuckWeb feature "Change PAC."
Students who lose or forget their PAC should use the "Forgot PAC?" button on the DuckWeb login page. Accounts are disabled after three failed attempts at logging in. For assistance, contact the Office of the Registrar.
Because personal and academic information is available on DuckWeb, students are strongly encouraged not to share their PAC with friends or family members.
