What You Need

The first time you register for classes on DuckWeb you will need your:

  1. Student ID Number (UO ID) that starts with 95
  2. Personal Access Code (PAC) which was sent from Admissions
  3. First-time UO undergraduates must meet with an advisor before they can register for classes

Undergraduate Students

Students who have registered within the last year and have not completed their degree can register when initial registration opens.

Students who were not enrolled in the last year must complete a reenrollment form.

Graduate Students

Graduate Students who have taken time off will need to contact the Division of Graduate Studies regarding future enrollment.

The initial registration schedule is determined by level (graduate or undergraduate), number of total completed credits, and the first letter(s) of the student’s last name.

After your initial registration, you can adjust your schedule anytime. There are certain deadlines after which you cannot adjust variable credits, change the grade option, or add/drop/withdraw. Review the academic calendar for important dates and deadlines.

Within “Register for Classes” you can use the “Find Classes” tab to enter your search criteria. There are basic and advanced search options to search and select courses.

  • Basic search criteria include:
    • Subject—e.g., Writing, Business Administration
    • Course Number—e.g., 101, 102, 103
      • Use the percent sign (%) at the end of the course
        • “1%” would be all 100-level courses and “2%” would be all 200-level
        • For Core Education courses, “121%” will find WR 121Z
        • For Honors College courses, “225%” will find CH 225H
    • Subject and Course Number—e.g., BA 101Z, WR 121Z, BI 150
    • Level—e.g., Undergraduate, Graduate, Law
    • Core Education, Low/No Cost Materials

    1. Instructor: We recommend you use the instructor’s last name (e.g., Hollander, Wakefield)
    2. Title: Search for the name of the class (e.g., Differential Calculus)
      1. If you are unsure of the entire title, use the percent sign (%) to search for a title that includes the word you know (e.g., %calculus%)
    3. Credit Hour Range—e.g., “3–3.99” to look for a course that is worth 3 credits
    4. Meeting Days: Use the checkbox for the days you want classes to be included on
    5. Start Time: Use the drop-down menus to note the earliest hour, minute, and AM/PM for the class to start

      1. Note: Required linked CRNs (e.g., lecture, +Dis, +Lab, +Tutorial) may be outside your listed parameter
  2. Enter the criteria you want to search for (e.g., Subject, Course Number)
  3. In the search results, review at least the title, meeting times, and campus. It is also suggested that you review the seats (especially if you did not only search for open classes), reserved seats information, and instructional method (in-person vs. asynchronous online, vs. synchronous online, etc.). Use the “Add” button to select your course of choice
  4. The course(s) are now included in the “Summary” panel with a status of “Pending” status

  6. The status will change to “Registered” in the “Summary” and “Schedule Details” areas on the panels for courses that were successfully registered.
    1. If the course has a set meeting time, the course will appear in the “Schedule” panel
    2. If the course does not have a set meeting time, it will only appear in the “Summary” and the “Schedule Details” panels

Register with a CRN

If you know the CRN or an instructor or department shared a specific CRN with you, use the “Enter CRNs” tab as a quick way to find, add, and register for the course.

  1. Enter the five-digit CRN in the CRN text box
  2. If it is a two-part course or you have another specific CRN to add, click “+Add Another CRN”
  3. The course(s) will load in both of the other panels—the “Summary” panel and the “Schedule” panel in the “Schedule Details” (and “Schedule” tab if it has a set meeting time) with a “Pending” status
  4. To register for the course(s), use the “Submit” button
  5. The status will change to “Registered” in the “Summary” and “Schedule Details” areas on the panels for courses that were successfully registered

    2. If the course does not have a set meeting time, it will only appear in the “Summary” and “Schedule Details” panels

Tips

Linked Sections: Use the “View Linked” button to see the linked sections (e.g., Lecture + Lab) and the “+Add All” button in the linked sections results to ensure you add both required CRNs.

Panel Views: After adding a course, toggle through the panels.

  • Use the “Panels” button
  • Use either Ctrl+Alt+V or Ctrl+Alt+C

Conditional Add and Drop: “If a seat is available in course 1, then drop me from course 2.” To utilize this option, select a course and use the “Add” button so that it has a status of “Pending” in the “Summary” panel. Before doing anything else, for the course you want to drop, select “Drop Course” from the “Action” drop-down menu for the course. Use the checkbox for “Conditional Add and Drop.” Finally, use the “Submit” button to process the “if/then” action.
