Transfer IntroDUCKtion

If you are planning to transfer to UO in winter, spring, or summer term, please refer to our Mid-Year IntroDUCKtion information for more details.

Being a transfer student is pretty rad, and we are excited that you chose the UO to continue your academic journey. You are joining a flock comprised of faculty members, staff, and peers who are just as excited that you’ve made this decision and can’t wait to meet you.

IntroDUCKtion is our orientation program that is required for all incoming transfer students. During IntroDUCKtion, you’ll learn what it means to be a Duck and what it takes to be successful here at the UO.

Get Ready for Fall

For transfer students entering fall 2025, IntroDUCKtion will happen in three required parts.

Attend a Transfer IntroDUCKtion Session

Attending a Transfer IntroDUCKtion session is required for all incoming transfer students.

Your session date is not tied to your academic advising appointment and course registration for fall term.

Virtual Advising and Registration

All students must meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for their first term. Once you’ve registered for IntroDUCKtion, an advisor will contact you at your UO email address to set up a virtual advising session and share next steps for registration.

Online Requirements

Through an online course on community.uoregon.edu, all new students will be required to complete a small number of assignments throughout the summer to gear up for fall term.

Our orientation course and modules will open at the end of May and are due August 30. More information will be available when the course is open.

Transfer IntroDUCKtion Dates

Summer IntroDUCKtion for transfer students will be held on the following dates:

Wednesday, July 16
Wednesday, August 13

You must attend the session in its entirety from start to finish; late arrivals and early departures from in-person sessions cannot be accommodated.

Parents and Families

Parents and families are welcome to join their students for the Trek Through the Trees portions of the session. These presentations start at 3:00 p.m. and conclude at 4:45 p.m. They include presentations from great resources around campus.

Since there is not a full program, there is no registration or fee for any supporters who are wanting to attend their student's IntroDUCKtion session.

IntroDUCKtion Registration

Registration for Transfer IntroDUCKtion sessions will open on May 19, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. PDT for all new transfer students who have submitted their Intent to Register and their Advance Tuition Deposit. Students may register themselves and guests using their application status portal. Please choose the session that is best for you, and that you can attend in its entirety.
