Who is a Non-Degree Seeking Student?

People who are not currently admitted to the University of Oregon may take courses at the University of Oregon as non-degree seeking students.

High School Students

  • High school students can earn college credit at the UO through the non-degree program. As they complete courses, high school students add to their permanent academic record at the UO.
  • Students taking UO courses through the Prebaccalaureate and Duck Link Programs should direct their questions to program administrators or their school guidance counselor.

International Students

  • International students may enroll as non-degree students at the University of Oregon.
  • The non-degree studies program could be considered "incidental study" for visa purposes and does not qualify students for F-1 or J-1 student visa statuses.

Joint Campus Students

  • Graduate students at Oregon State University, Portland State University, and the University of Oregon are allowed to enroll in courses on any of the three campuses during their studies. The Division of Graduate Studies has in-depth information about Joint-Campus Registration for UO students.

Staff and Faculty

  • Staff and faculty members can activate their non-degree seeking registration status by completing the registration eligibility form.
  • Staff rates are available for qualifying staff and faculty. Contact Human Resources to confirm benefit eligibility and apply for staff tuition rates.
