Registration Eligibility Request


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.

High School Students and Future Ducks

High school students and students that plan to transfer to the University of Oregon can earn college credit at the UO through the non-degree program. As they complete courses, students add to their permanent academic record at the UO.

Alternatively, 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.
