Making Travel Plans

10:00 – 11:00 a.m.

Program Check-In

Students and families will check in at separate locations for the IntroDUCKtion, then have an opportunity to meet up again for coffee and pastries before heading to their respective welcomes.

Students: you will drop off your luggage – we’ll hold onto it for you until you check into housing later this afternoon. You will be able to choose your roommate when you get your housing keys later in the program. If you haven’t met someone by then that you’d like to room with, the Student Orientation Staff (SOSers) will be there to help you find a good match!

If your Flock ID card photo was approved before your session, you can pick up your card here. If you have not submitted a photo or your photo was denied, be prepared to take a photo during check-in!

11:00 AM – 1:30 a.m.

IntroDUCKtion Programming

Students and families will have separate, but simultaneous programming for the morning. The event starts with a welcome presentation, where we’ll cover the UO Academic Experience, and students will have their first opportunity to meet with their small group or “Flock”.

1:30 – 2:15 p.m.

Lunch

Students and families will come back together for lunch. After lunch, student and family programming will continue separately until Day 2, making this a great time to discuss your goals for IntroDUCKtion and fall term courses.

2:15 – 5:15 p.m.

IntroDUCKtion Programming

Programming continues for students and families. We will cover a variety of topics, and you will have an opportunity to hear from students, staff, and faculty from across campus.

Students: it’s important you remain with your Flock so you can connect with other incoming students and ensure your attendance is counted!

Families: your program will end at 4:30 p.m. Students will remain in mandatory programming until 8:45 p.m., then have their required overnight stay in the residence hall. Residence halls are only open to IntroDUCKtion student participants, so this is your opportunity to explore campus and Eugene!

5:15 – 8:00 p.m.

Dinner and Program Rotations

Follow your SOSer to ensure your attendance is tracked for required programs! In one rotation, you will have the opportunity to select your roommate, get checked into housing, and then have dinner. Your SOSer can help you connect with another student if you are still looking for a roommate for the evening!

In the other rotation, you will attend presentations with your Flock.

8:00 – 8:45 p.m.

IntroDUCKtion Programming

Join us for the final formal student programming of the day! Learn about some fun UO traditions and get introduced to new spaces, including the Student Recreation Center.

If you want to work out, join a pick-up game, or even play dodgeball while you’re here, make sure to pack some athletic gear!

8:45 – 10:30 p.m.

Evening Programming

Our student staff will host a variety of optional activities in the evening so you can continue making connections and having fun! We’ll have some more active options in the Student Recreation Center, low-key activities in the residence hall, and a game night in the Lylle Reynolds-Parker Black Cultural Center.

7:30 – 8:15 a.m.

Breakfast and Housing Check-Out

Students will grab breakfast, turn in their housing keys (don’t forget this important step!), and check their luggage for the day.

8:30 – 9:15 a.m.

Students: Flock Meeting

You will have a final meeting with your Flock to plan your day's schedule, prepare for academic advising & course registration, and review important next steps after IntroDUCKtion.

Families: Coffee & Conversations

Join campus leaders for coffee, pastries, and conversations before Day 2 presentations begin.

9:30 – 11:30 a.m.

Students: Academic Advising & Course Registration and Trek Through the Trees

Students will attend pre-scheduled academic advising appointments, then register for their fall term courses in one of our registration computer labs. Trek Through the Trees is conference-style programming where you can choose from various interest sessions, open houses, and a Campus & Community Resource Fair to learn about what interests you most.

All students must attend their pre-scheduled University Health Center presentation and complete all program requirements to be counted as attended for IntroDUCKtion. This includes attending an info session during every time block when you are not in your academic advising appointment or the registration lab.

Note: make sure you keep your name badge on – this is how your attendance will be tracked throughout the day!

Families: IntroDUCKtion Programming

Presentations for families continue. You will learn about student billing, University Housing, and required & recommended next steps for students after IntroDUCKtion.

Note: academic advising appointments and registration labs are open only to students.

11:30 AM – 1:30 p.m.

Lunch on Your Own and Campus & Community Resource Fair

Grab lunch at one of our on-campus venues, connect with the 45+ groups at the Campus & Community Resource Fair, and explore our many open houses!

1:30 – 5:00 p.m.

Students: Academic Advising & Course Registration and Trek Through the Trees

Advising appointments, course registration, and information sessions for students continue.

Families: Trek Through the Trees

Join your student for Trek Through the Trees or split up to learn even more! Keep in mind that your student has several requirements to complete before 5:00 p.m.

All: Next Steps: Prepare for Migration & Program Check Out

Students must attend a final presentation to review important next steps and check out with the Student Orientation Programs team before IntroDUCKtion ends. This is also where you will pick up your luggage. Families are welcome to join or can get a head start back to the car.
