IntroDUCKtion for First-Year Students

 IntroDUCKtion registration opens on Monday, May 18 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time in the application status portal.

You did it. You’re a Duck! Not just for the next few years, but for your whole life. And it starts at orientation. This is when everything starts to come together, and we are excited to welcome you to the UO.

IntroDUCKtion is our required orientation, advising, and registration experience where you'll register for fall classes, connect with other students, and get a feel for life at the UO. Over two days on campus, you'll start to see what it means to be a Duck and how to navigate your first term with confidence.

At IntroDUCKtion you will

  • Meet other incoming Ducks
  • Connect with current students about how to be successful at the UO
  • Learn from about the academics, majors, and opportunities from faculty and staff
  • Explore campus resources, services, and experiences available to you
  • Meet with an academic advisor in your major
  • Build and register for your fall class schedule
