Advising/Orientation Programs

After admission to the University of Oregon, you will need to attend a New Student Academic Orientation. You must be formally admitted to the UO by the deadline established by the Office of Admissions in order to participate in a New Student Academic Orientation.

All of our programs provide:

• An introduction to general academic and graduation requirements.
• The opportunity to meet with a departmental or undeclared adviser who will help you select classes for the upcoming term and clarify the registration process.
• A Student Handbook, and a University of Oregon Catalog.
• Information about registration on DUCK WEB.
• Your PIN number for registration. The PIN number will be required to register for your first term at the university. Remember, you must attend a New Student Academic Orientation before receiving a PIN number and attempting to register.
