When you enroll in courses, you are agreeing to pay tuition and fees to study at the University of Oregon. Much of that cost is determined by the number of courses and credits you’re enrolled in. Thus, it is important to understand the add/drop deadlines and the financial impacts of adding and dropping courses during the term.

The refund schedule shows the amount that can be refunded based on the date you take action in DuckWeb. There may be different refund amounts based on if you are dropping all courses for the term or only one course and remaining in others. The UO has new courses every term (Fall, Winter, andSpring). The courses last a total of 11 weeks, including finals. Making a decision and taking action using the refund schedule is important for your time and wallet.

Use DuckWeb to add and drop courses. Updates to your student bill are posted nightly. Refunds can be viewed under Account History in the student menu in DuckWeb.

For summer term, deadlines for adding, dropping, or withdrawing from courses are listed for each course on the class schedule. Search for your specific CRN to see the effective dates.
