IntroDUCKtion
IntroDUCKtion is a two-day student and family IntroDUCKtion sessions allow you to get to know the campus, meet other students, talk with faculty advisers, and register for your fall term courses. IntroDUCKtion sessions are held in July.
Week of Welcome
Week of Welcome is the UO's fall orientation week, with activities and programs for new students to become familiar with the university's array of resources, meet new people, and make new friends.
Mid-Year Orientation
Mid-Year IntroDUCKtion sessions are available for students whose first term will be winter, spring, or summer. Additionally, we offer a session during the spring for transfer students entering in the fall. Freshman students admitted for the fall term must attend one of the summer IntroDUCKtion sessions.

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
Placement Testing at the UO consists of tests in Writing, Mathematics, Second Language and AEIS (Academic English for International Students).
