state, the nation, and the world since 1876. The University of Oregon is a comprehensive public research university committed to exceptional teaching, discovery, and service. The university is a community of scholars, helping members of its community to question critically, think logically, reason effectively, communicate clearly, act creatively, and live ethically. Purpose The university community strives for excellence in teaching, research, artistic expression, and the generation, dissemination, preservation, and application of knowledge, devoted to fostering the next generation of leaders and informed participants in the global community. Through these pursuits, the social, cultural, physical, and economic well-being of the students, the state, the nation, and the world are enhanced. Vision The university community aspires to create a preeminent and innovative public research university encompassing the humanities and arts, the natural and social sciences, and the professions, seeking to enrich the human condition through collaboration, teaching, mentoring, scholarship, creative inquiry, scientific discovery, outreach, and public service. Values The university community values • the passions, aspirations, individuality, and success of the students and the members of its faculty and staff who work and learn here • academic freedom, creative expression, and intellectual discourse • diversity, and seeks to foster equity and inclusion in a welcoming, safe, and respectful community • the unique geography, history, and culture of Oregon that shapes its identity and spirit • a shared charge to steward resources sustainably and responsibly Inspiration and Discovery Generations of leaders and citizens have studied at the University of Oregon since it opened in 1876. Today’s students, like the 200,000 alumni before them, have access to the most current knowledge in lectures, laboratories, and seminars conducted by active researchers. By sharing their research through teaching, faculty members are better able to articulate their findings and to integrate their specialized studies with broader areas of knowledge. University of Oregon students select courses from departments and programs in the College of Arts and Sciences and from six professional schools and colleges and the Robert Donald Clark Honors College. Some 1,337 full-time faculty members, 51 full-time librarians, and 1,431 graduate and research assistants serve as mentors, colleagues, and friends to the 21,800 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the university. Although more than half of all students are from Oregon, 42 percent are from other states and 6 percent are from other countries. The mix of backgrounds gives students a chance to know people they might not meet otherwise—a real asset in a world where national and international relations influence everyday life. Teaching, research, and a spirit of sharing are characteristics of the campus community. Faculty members and students engage in research programs that bring to the university approximately $152.4 million in competitive research awards. The university’s science departments receive national attention for their work in such areas as computer science, genetics, materials, optics, and neuroscience. Fourteen faculty members belong to the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and nine have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Connection to Community The sharing of knowledge and the love of learning do not stop at the campus borders. Public service is important to the university. Members of the UO faculty share their experience and knowledge in community activities that include service in local and state governments. They also serve as consultants for businesses, industries, school districts, and government agencies. Students work as interns in a variety of educational programs in the community and volunteer for service activities. University programs that serve the public include Academic Extension, which offers for-credit and noncredit activities throughout the state. Planning and technical assistance from the Community Service Center helps Oregon communities solve local problems and improve the quality of life in rural Oregon. For more than four decades, the Oregon Bach Festival has offered an annual program of concerts and master classes to music lovers in the Pacific Northwest. The UO’s classical music radio station, KWAX-FM, is an affiliate of the Public Radio International Classical 24. KWAX programs are rebroadcast on translators in several coastal and central Oregon communities and cybercasts entertain listeners around the world. A second radio station, KWVA-FM, serves the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area and has a live internet stream, playing a varied mix of music in addition to talk shows and live college sports broadcasts. KWVA is a voice for UO students as well as a place for them to gain broadcast, production, and operation experience. The university’s presence is evident at its off-campus facilities—Pine Mountain Observatory in central Oregon near Bend—and its academic programs in Portland and at the coastal Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in Charleston. Access is enabled through several online and hybrid programs. The university is one of the largest and most stable employers in the state, directly employing 8,544 people. Overall, University of Oregon activity affects more than $988million in household earnings and 26,000 jobs in the state. The Campus Experience The university’s 295-acre campus is an arboretum of more than 4,000 trees of approximately 500 species, located in the lush Willamette Valley, between the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains. Campus buildings date from 1876, when the UO’s first building opened, to the present, with the recent opening of the Lyllye Reynolds-Parker Black Cultural Center; Willie and Donald Tykeson Hall, 21-22 - 2 7 the university’s hub for academic and career advising, and home to the College of Arts and Sciences, University Career Center, and Division of Equity and Inclusion; and the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact. The Museum of Natural and Cultural History is located at East 15th Avenue and Columbia Street. Across campus, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, a member of the American Alliance of Museums, is noted for its collections of Asian and Northwest art. The UO Libraries, a member of the Association of Research Libraries, is an important research facility for scholars throughout the Northwest. The free Oregon Card Program allows Oregon residents who are sixteen or older to borrow from the libraries’ three-million-volume collection. Campus athletic facilities include the 54,000-seat Autzen Stadium, the Len Casanova Athletic Center, Ed Moshofsky Sports Center, Papé Field, Jane Sanders Stadium, PK Park, Hayward Field and its all-weather track, Bowerman Family Building, Student Recreation Center, Matthew Knight Arena, and open-air and covered tennis courts. Student-guided tours of the university are available Monday through Saturday. Tours may be arranged by calling 541-346-1274. Campus maps and pamphlets describing university programs, answers to questions about services and office locations, and general information about the university are available at the information desk in the main lobby of the Ford Alumni Center. The university’s website has daily news updates and information about programs and events: www.uoregon.edu (http://www.uoregon.edu). Equal Opportunity The university is committed to equal access to programs, course offerings, facilities, admission, and employment for all of its employees, students, and campus community members. It is the policy of the university to maintain an environment free from harassment and discrimination against any person. The Office of Investigations and Civil Rights Compliance, formerly the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity and the Office of the Title IX Coordinator, offers the UO community a place to discuss and report issues, concerns, and conflicts regarding discriminatory or harassing behavior. The office also helps identify how such concerns and conflicts may best be addressed and resolved. The office supports the university’s compliance with federal and state laws regarding discrimination and harassment, affirmative action, and equal employment opportunity. The office works with students, members of the faculty and staff, and campus community members by • promoting a learning and working environment free from discrimination and harassment • receiving concerns and complaints from any member of the UO community—students, faculty and staff members, visitors, and program participants—regarding issues of potential discrimination and discriminatory harassment at the university. In this investigative role, the office does not act as an advocate for employees, students, or community members while going through its process, but rather serves a neutral, impartial function • addressing and resolving concerns and complaints of discrimination and harassment through a variety of means including facilitated conversations and mediations, education and training, and investigations • explaining and clarifying university policies and procedures as well as federal and state laws and regulations regarding discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and affirmative action • supporting diversity in recruitment and hiring by assisting administrative and academic departments in meeting these goals and adhering to affirmative action guidelines Direct related inquiries to the Office of Investigations and Civil Rights Compliance, 677 E. 12th Ave., Suite 452, 5221 University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403-5221; telephone 541-346-3123.

Each consists of smaller units called departments or programs. The academic year is divided into three terms (fall, winter, spring) and one summer session. Where to Find It This catalog has four sections. The first section contains information about admission, registration, academic policies, undergraduate degree requirements, tuition and fees, financial aid and scholarships, employment, and academic and career planning. The second section outlines the majors, minors, and specializations defining the degrees and certificates that may be earned at the University of Oregon, as well as the array of general-education courses available that make up the foundational requirements of those degrees. The third (or curriculum) section describes all the university’s academic programs in detail: faculty members, degree and nondegree programs, and course listings. This section includes the College of Arts and Sciences, the honors college, the six professional schools and colleges, the Graduate School and graduate studies information, and ends with a review of undergraduate studies and supplemental academic programs. The final section contains information on academic resources and student services, physical education and recreation, and the academic calendar. Definitions The academic terms defined in the following list are used throughout this catalog. Area-satisfying course. A course that counts toward partial fulfillment of bachelor’s degree requirements in one of the three general-education areas: arts and letters, social science, science. Certificate. A formal document that recognizes academic achievement in a specific discipline—only as an adjunct to an undergraduate degree program and either as an adjunct to or separate from a graduate degree program, and only for students in an admitted status. Stand-alone noncredit certificates are offered through Continuing and Professional Education to all students. Colloquium. An academic meeting or assembly for discussion, sometimes led by a different lecturer speaking on a different topic at each meeting; a seminar with consultation, report, and exchange. Competency. A specific skill in a specific area. Corequisite. A course or other educational requirement that must be completed simultaneously with another course. Course. A subject, or an instructional subdivision of a subject, offered through part of a term or a whole term. Each course is assigned a course level. Courses numbered 100–499 are undergraduate courses; 100–299 are lower division, and 300–499 are upper division. Courses numbered 500 and above are graduate or professional. 1 credit. Represents approximately three hours of the student’s time each week for one term in a lower-division undergraduate course. This frequently means a minimum of one hour in the lecture hall or laboratory in addition to two hours spent in outside preparation. The number of lecture, recitation, laboratory, or other periods required each week for a course is listed in each term's class schedule. Cultural Literacy course. A course that counts toward partial fulfillment of bachelor’s degree requirements in one of two categories: Global Perspectives; and US: Difference, Inequality, Agency. Curriculum.

Dissertation or Thesis. A written document resulting from study or research and submitted as a major requirement for a degree. Electives. Courses that students may choose to take, as contrasted with courses that are required for an academic program. Endorsement. An affirmation of teaching competency by the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission. Experimental course. A course under development that has not received formal acceptance to the curriculum. Subject matter, instructional materials, and activities are evaluated for effectiveness and long-term value to the discipline. Experimental courses may not be used to clear general-education requirements. Field studies. A series of practical experiences on or off campus to understand principles or develop skills in performing selected tasks. Generic courses. Courses numbered 100, 300, 196, 198, 199, 299, 399–410, 503–510, 601–610, and 704–710, for which credit is variable and which may be repeated for credit.

Each catalog goes into effect at the beginning of fall term the academic year of issue. It expires at the end of summer session the seventh academic year after publication. Advisors and other university employees are available to help, but students have final responsibility for satisfying degree requirements for graduation. 14 Reader's Guide to the Catalog Undergraduate Students To receive an undergraduate degree, a student must have satisfied, at the time of graduation, all requirements for the degree listed in one of the following: 1. the unexpired catalog in effect when the student was first admitted and enrolled at the University of Oregon, or 2. any subsequent catalog that has not yet expired To fulfill major or minor program requirements, a student must complete the requirements in effect 1. when the student first declared the major or minor, or 2. when the student changed to a different major or minor Exceptions to major or minor requirements may be made by the department or program offering the major or minor. Graduate Students To receive a graduate degree, a continuously enrolled student must have completed, at the time of graduation, all requirements described in the department and Graduate School sections of the catalog in effect when the student was first admitted and enrolled at the University of Oregon. A student who has not maintained continuous enrollment is subject to the requirements described in the department and Graduate School sections of the catalog in effect the first term the student was readmitted by the Graduate School and reenrolled at the University of Oregon. Requests for exceptions to graduate degree requirements must be submitted in writing to the Graduate School prior to graduation. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this catalog, the University of Oregon has the right to make changes at any time without prior notice. This catalog is not a contract between the University of Oregon and current or prospective students. 21-22 - 2 15 From Admission to Graduation This section of the catalog holds basic information for prospective students on how to apply to the University of Oregon, choose a major, register for courses, and apply for scholarships, grants, and financial aid, in addition to outlining and explaining their rights and responsibilities.

Standard Admission Process Through the standard admission process, applications are evaluated based on the following criteria: • Strength of academic course work • Grades earned • Grade trends, especially in junior and senior year of high school • Senior-year course load • Writing skill, personal characteristics, and special circumstances as shared in the various written and narrative sections of the application • Extracurricular activities, including community service and employment • Ability to enhance the diversity of the university community • Special talents • Standardized test scores from the ACT or SAT are optional for admission. However, these scores can be used as one option for meeting requirements such as English proficiency, or alternatives requirements for applicants from nonaccredited schools. Application Procedure Freshman applicants must submit the following to the Office of Admissions: • Completed application for admission, including essays and activities and a nonrefundable application fee, by the standard application deadline. Students can use either the UO’s own application, the Common Application, or the Coalition Application, and need to submit only one version of an application. Details are available online (https://admissions.uoregon.edu/freshmen/). • An official high school transcript is not required at the time of applicant in most cases. Instead, students self-report their complete high school record, and official transcripts will be required at the end of the process unless requested sooner by Admissions. • Test scores from the SAT or ACT are optional for admission. However, official test scores can be considered if submitted officially through the testing agency, or appearing on an official high school transcript. These scores play no specific role in the admission decision, but are sometimes one of a multiple alternatives applicants might use to address a particular situation. Standard Admission Requirements Graduation from a Regionally Accredited High School Applicants who graduate from a nonaccredited high school, were homeschooled, or earned a general equivalency diploma (GED) must meet the alternative admission requirements explained https://art.uoregon.edu/sites/art1.uoregon.edu/files/downloads/undergrad/ARTMajorDeclarationForm.pdf https://art.uoregon.edu/sites/art1.uoregon.edu/files/downloads/undergrad/ARTMajorDeclarationForm.pdf https://art.uoregon.edu/sites/art1.uoregon.edu/files/downloads/undergrad/ARTMajorDeclarationForm.pdf https://admissions.uoregon.edu/freshmen/ https://admissions.uoregon.edu/freshmen/ 16 Admissions in more detail online (http://admissions.uoregon.edu/freshmen/ alternativeadmission/). Completion of Required Course Work Applicants must satisfactorily complete the following high school course work. To meet minimum admission requirements, applicants must complete 15 units in the core areas listed below with a grade of C– or better in each course. Until further notice, during the pandemic, passing or credit-only results will be acceptable if the applicant's school has not provided grades for these courses. These requirements may be in progress at the time of application, provided they are complete by the time the student enrolls at Oregon. • English—four years. All four years should be in preparatory composition and literature, with emphasis on and frequent practice in writing expository prose • Mathematics—three years. Must include first-year algebra and two additional years of college-preparatory mathematics. An advanced mathematics course is highly recommended in the senior year. Algebra and geometry taken prior to ninth grade are acceptable. Regardless of the pattern of mathematics courses or the number of years of mathematics taken, the mathematics course work must include Algebra II (or equivalent) or higher • Science—three years. Must include a year each in two fields of college-preparatory science such as biology, chemistry, physics, or earth and physical science. One year of laboratory science is recommended • Social studies—three years. May include areas such as global studies, history, or social studies electives • Second-language proficiency. Demonstrate with one of the following: • Two years of the same second language in high school • Two college terms of the same second language • Proficiency test (e.g., SAT Subject Test or BYU Foreign Language Assessment) • Other options for meeting the second-language requirement, including American Sign Language Exceptions to this requirement are only considered for students graduating from high schools that do not offer two years of any second language. College work may be used to complete courses missed in high school. A one-term transferable college course of at least 3 credits (quarter system) is equal to one year of high school work. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the UO Office of Admissions to verify that the courses completed will satisfy course pattern deficiencies. An examination in a second language is strongly recommended to qualify a student for admission by meeting the second-language proficiency requirements. Students who do not take an SAT Subject Test have several other options to prove language proficiency through another approved process. The UO offers tentative admission based on self-reported record and planned senior schedule. Final admission is granted only after the Office of Admissions has received official transcripts verifying successful completion of all admission requirements and graduation. If an applicant’s final record shows a substantial change, or if the applicant does not complete a course that was in progress at the time of application or admission or completes it with a low grade, the offer of admission may be withdrawn by the university. Submission of Scores from Standardized Tests The University of Oregon accepts scores for the SAT or ACT when reported on official high school transcripts or submitted to the Office of Admissions directly from the testing service. Test scores for applicants planning to participate in intercollegiate athletics must be received directly from the testing service. When taking the test, applicants should list the University of Oregon as a score recipient. The school code number to use for the SAT is 4846; the code for the ACT is 3498. Consideration of Narratives and Essays Freshman applicants are required to submit an essay that serves as a personal statement to show not only writing ability but insights into the applicant’s personal characteristics. Students are also offered a chance to write optional essays for various purposes. Consideration of Activities, Work, and Accomplishments Most applicants are required to share a set number of examples of their activities outside the classroom. Students choose a variety of ways to be involved in activities—lead, volunteer, intern, hold jobs, and achieve special recognition. No type of activity will be valued more highly than another, so students should consider anything they have done as a possibility to share and discuss. However, applicants are limited to a finite number of items, because the selection process does not reward sheer volume of activity. Instead, the university seeks to use this information to better understand who the applicants are, and to learn more about their most meaningful interests and accomplishments. Explanation of Special Circumstances (optional) Applicants whose high school or college performance was affected by any serious illness, diagnosed disability, personal difficulties, or family circumstances should provide a statement to summarize their situation. Dates should be included when applicable. Applicants with D or F grades, especially those grades that make them fall short of course requirements, are strongly encouraged to address the reasons for these grades in this section. Alternative Admission The requirements for standard admission confer no guarantees of admission, and applicants who meet them may or may not be admitted due to the selective, holistic process that takes many academic and personal factors into consideration. Also, students who do not meet these requirements will still be considered for admission. Students who fall short of the standard requirements in any way should never let that deter them from applying; they are strongly encouraged to contact the UO Office of Admissions for further guidance and additional requirements. Students from homeschool settings and those who attend nonaccredited schools may be required to submit additional information and materials. Students who fall short of core subject requirements or those with low grades (especially those who fall below a 3.00 GPA) are encouraged to explain the reasons for their situation in the application. Premajor Status Departments or programs with premajor admission requirements include the Lundquist College of Business, certain majors in the College of Design, the College of Education, the School of Journalism and http://admissions.uoregon.edu/freshmen/alternativeadmission/ http://admissions.uoregon.edu/freshmen/alternativeadmission/ http://admissions.uoregon.edu/freshmen/alternativeadmission/ 21-22 - 2 17 Communication, and the Department of International Studies. These units typically only permit newly admitted students to be considered premajors for their majors. A premajor student is eligible to take advantage of the department’s advising services and, in most cases, complete lower- division course work required for the major. Each department screens enrolled premajor students who have completed some university study and decides if they may advance to major status. Transfer Admission For applicants who will have attempted any college-level coursework after graduating from high school and will have completed 35 or fewer quarter credits (or 23 or fewer semester credits) by the time of expected enrollment at Oregon, admission will be based on both freshman and transfer admission requirements. For applicants who have completed 36 or more quarter credits (or 24 or more semester credits) by the time of expected enrollment at Oregon, admission will be based only on the transfer admission requirements. Course Requirements A grade of C– or better is required in the following: • College-level composition and writing • College-level mathematics • Second language: two years in high school or two terms in college Applicants who will not have completed these courses should still consider applying, and they are encouraged to submit a letter of explanation or include an explanation in the special circumstances statement. Required GPA In college-transferable courses, the following cumulative GPAs are required for admission consideration: • 2.25 for Oregon residents • 2.50 for applicants without Oregon residency • 2.00 for applicants, regardless of residency, who earn an associate of arts Oregon transfer (AAOT) degree from an Oregon community college, an associate of science Oregon transfer (ASOT) degree in business, or an Oregon Transfer Module (OTM) from any public two- year or four-year institution in Oregon The University of Oregon may recalculate grades for purposes of establishing an admissions GPA. This means that an applicant’s admission GPA is not identical to the one presented by the previous institution. These recalculations will be made in regard to transferability of credit, repeat policies, or limits on certain types of credit. Second-Language Proficiency Applicants who graduated from high school or earned a general equivalency diploma (GED) in spring 1997 or later must document second-language proficiency by submitting an official transcript or score report verifying one of the following: • Two years of the same language at an accredited high school • Two terms of the same language at a regionally accredited college • Proficiency test (e.g., SAT Subject Test or Brigham Young University Foreign Language Achievement Test) Options for meeting the second language requirement, including American Sign Language, are available on the Office of Admissions (http://admissions.uoregon.edu/apply/secondlanguage.htm) website. Applicants admitted with an exception to this requirement are required to complete two college terms of the same language before graduating from the University of Oregon, regardless of the major or degree pursued. Additional Considerations Even if an applicant meets the minimum requirements stated above, factors of concern, especially a drop in GPA from recent course work, may still be considered before a decision on admission is made. In addition, when considering applicants who do not meet minimum admission requirements, the Office of Admissions considers additional factors such as whether the applicant holds an associate of arts Oregon transfer degree from an Oregon community college or associate of arts degree from select community colleges in other states; which of the applicant’s completed courses fulfill university graduation requirements; the applicant’s grade point average (GPA); and the applicant’s grade trend throughout his or her academic history. Academic potential and special talents are also considered. Application Procedure Transfer applicants must submit the following to the Office of Admissions: 1. A completed application for admission and a nonrefundable application fee 2. An official transcript from each college and university attended. It is a firm requirement that applicants submit transcripts from any previous institution where credit was attempted, regardless of the grades or amount of credit earned, and regardless of how or whether the applicant intends to apply these credits toward UO requirements. Applicants who omit record of previous work attempted will be denied admission, and admitted students for whom this omission is discovered can have their offer of admission revoked, even if it is after they have begun enrollment at Oregon 3. A high school transcript is not always required, but is often needed— not only for admission but for federal aid eligibility. Students should provide the high school transcript at the time of application whenever possible Transfer students may submit their applications up to six months before they plan to enroll at the university, but may be asked to provide updated transcripts before final decisions are reached. Applications and official transcripts should be received by the university by the deadlines listed above to allow time for a complete evaluation of the transferred credits. Transfer of Credit The amount of credit transferred depends on the nature of the applicant’s college work, which is evaluated according to the academic requirements of the University of Oregon. Only college-level academic course work from regionally accredited two- and four-year colleges or universities will be considered for transfer. Up to 124 credits from regionally accredited community or junior colleges, of which only 90 credits may be transferred from an international junior college, may be applied to the bachelor’s degree. See Bachelor’s Degree Requirements for requirements that apply to new undergraduates. http://admissions.uoregon.edu/apply/secondlanguage.htm http://admissions.uoregon.edu/apply/secondlanguage.htm 18 Admissions Premajor Status Departments or programs with premajor admission requirements are the Lundquist College of Business, certain majors in the College of Design, the College of Education, the School of Journalism and Communication, and the Department of International Studies. These units only permit newly admitted students to be considered premajors for their majors. A premajor student is eligible to take advantage of the department’s advising services and, in most cases, complete lower-division course work required for the major. Each department screens enrolled premajor students who have completed some university study and decides if they may advance to major status. Dual Enrollment Program The University of Oregon has dual-enrollment agreements with Lane Community College and Southwestern Oregon Community College. These programs provide students with the academic and administrative advantages of simultaneous enrollment in two institutions. More information and applications for admission are available from the UO Office of Admissions and at either community college. No student can be in the dual enrollment program without first being successfully admitted to the University of Oregon. International Admission Applicants who are not United States citizens or permanent residents are considered for admission to the university as international students. International applicants, whether freshman or transfer, may apply for admission fall, winter, and spring terms and summer session. All deadlines are the same as for US students in these categories. Applications received after the deadlines are considered on a space-available basis. See the admission requirements for individual countries (http://admissions.uoregon.edu/international/apply/ requirements/). A GPA of 2.50 is required for undergraduates who want to transfer from another university or college. English Proficiency. Students whose native language is not English must supply results of a standardized language-proficiency test. The University of Oregon currently accepts the TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test (DET) examinations for establishing proficiency, as well as the SAT or ACT. To be considered for full admission without an English placement test upon arriving, applicants must score an 88 on the TOEFL iBT, 6.5 in the IELTS, or a 100 on the DET. An applicant with at least a 61 TOEFL or 6.0 IELTS can be considered for full admission and will take an English language placement test after arriving at the university. Placement test results determine whether students are required to take language support courses in the Academic English for International Students (AEIS) program. Students placed in AEIS courses also concurrently enroll in regular university credit courses. Conditional admission. International applicants who do not meet the proficiency requirements above may be offered conditional admission if their academic record is otherwise strong for admission. Through the conditional admission program, the student can take courses through the Intensive English Program (IEP), then proceed to regular university credit courses once IEP requirements are satisfied. More information about the American English Institute and AEIS and IEP courses may be found in the Academic Resources section of this catalog and on the institute’s website (http://aei.uoregon.edu). Application Procedure International applicants for freshman or transfer admission must submit the following to the Office of Admissions: 1. A completed international application for admission and a nonrefundable application fee 2. Official transcripts of all schoolwork taken beyond the eighth year of school (i.e., the equivalent of the American secondary school grades 9–12 and for any college or university work). An official transcript is an original or a certified copy in a sealed envelope. (In most cases, international freshman applicants will instead self-report their high school transcript at the time of application' they will still be required to provide an official final transcript at the end of the process.) 3.

These students pay appropriate undergraduate fees. Applications and information are available from the Office of Admissions. Graduate Admission Students planning to pursue graduate study at the university must be admitted to the Graduate School and the departments in which they plan to study.

Each school and department in the university determines its specific requirements and application deadlines for graduate admission. For this reason, inquiries concerning graduate admission should be sent directly to the department or school of interest. Notice to Nonresidents of the State of Oregon Definitions The following words and phrases mean: (1) "Domicile" is a person’s true, fixed, and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where a person intends to remain and to which the person expects to return when the person leaves without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere. In order to establish a domicile in Oregon, a person must maintain a predominant physical presence in Oregon for 12 consecutive months after moving to the state. (2) A "financially independent person" is a person who, at the time of application for residency status: (a) declares himself or herself to be financially independent; (b) has not been claimed as a dependent during the immediately preceding tax year, and will not be claimed as a dependent during the current tax year, on the federal or state income tax returns of any other person; and http://admissions.uoregon.edu/international/apply/requirements/ http://admissions.uoregon.edu/international/apply/requirements/ http://admissions.uoregon.edu/international/apply/requirements/ http://admissions.uoregon.edu/international/apply/requirements/ http://aei.uoregon.edu http://aei.uoregon.edu 21-22 - 2 19 (c) has not received in the immediately preceding calendar year, and will not receive during the current calendar year, one-half or more of his or her support, in cash or in kind, from another person or persons, except for support received from his or her spouse. A "financially dependent person" is a person who, at the time of application for residency status: (a) has been claimed as a dependent on the federal and state income tax returns of another person during the immediately preceding tax year; or (b) is eligible to be claimed as a dependent for tax purposes and can provide evidence that one-half or more of the individual’s financial support was provided by another person or persons. Determination of Residence (1) For purposes of admission and instruction fee assessment, the University of Oregon shall classify a student as an Oregon resident or nonresident. In determining resident or nonresident classification, the primary issue is a person’s intent in coming to Oregon. Intent is inferred from a person’s conduct and history as they relate to the requirements of these residency rules. If a person is in Oregon primarily for the purpose of obtaining an education, that person will be considered a nonresident. It is possible for an individual to qualify as a resident of Oregon for purposes of voting or obtaining an Oregon driver’s license and not meet the residency requirements established by these rules. (2) An Oregon resident is a financially independent person who, prior to the term for which Oregon resident classification is requested, has both: (a) established and maintained a domicile in Oregon for 12 consecutive months; and (b) during that period, has been primarily engaged in activities other than those of being a college student. (3) A student may be considered primarily engaged in educational activities regardless of the number of hours for which the student is enrolled. However, a student who is enrolled for more than 8 hours in any semester or quarter during the 12-month period referred to in section (2) of this rule shall be presumed to be in Oregon for primarily educational purposes. Such period of enrollment shall not be counted toward the establishment of a bona fide domicile of 12 consecutive months in this state unless the student proves, in fact, establishment of a bona fide domicile in this state primarily for purposes other than educational. (4) An Oregon resident is also a financially dependent person who is claimed as a dependent by another person who has both: (a) established and maintained an Oregon domicile for 12 consecutive months; and (b) during that period, has been primarily engaged in activities other than those of being a college student. (5) A financially dependent person who is claimed as a dependent by another person who has not established and maintained an Oregon domicile shall be presumed to be a non-resident. This presumption may be overcome by evidence of the student’s long-standing presence in Oregon and demonstration of other factors. (6) The criteria for determining Oregon resident classification shall also be used to determine whether a person who has moved from Oregon has established a non-Oregon residence. (7) If institution records show that the residence of a student or the person upon whom the student is dependent is outside of Oregon, the student shall continue to be classified as a nonresident until entitlement to resident classification is shown. The burden of showing that the residence classification should be changed is on the student requesting the change. (8) Notwithstanding section (4) of this rule, a student who is financially dependent on a non-Oregon resident may nonetheless be considered an Oregon resident if the student resides in Oregon for at least 12 consecutive months with a parent or legal guardian who has both: (a) established and maintained an Oregon domicile for 12 consecutive months; and (b) during that period, has been primarily engaged in activities other than those of being a college student. Residency Consideration Factors (1) The following factors, although not necessarily conclusive or exclusive, have probative value in support of a claim for Oregon resident classification: (a) Reside in Oregon for 12 consecutive months prior to the beginning of the term for which resident classification is sought and during that period be primarily engaged in activities other than those of a college student; (b) Reliance upon Oregon resources for financial support; (c) Domicile in Oregon of persons legally responsible for the student; (d) Acceptance of an offer of permanent employment in Oregon; and (e) Ownership by the person of his or her living quarters in Oregon. (2) The following factors, standing alone, do not constitute sufficient evidence to effect classification as an Oregon resident: (a) Voting or registration to vote; (b) Employment in any position normally filled by a student; (c) The lease of living quarters; (d) Admission to a licensed practicing profession in Oregon; (e) Automobile registration; (f) Public records, for example, birth and marriage records, Oregon driver’s license; (g) Continuous presence in Oregon during periods when not enrolled in school; (h) Ownership of property in Oregon or the payment of Oregon income or other Oregon taxes; or (i) Domicile in Oregon of the student’s spouse. (3) Reliance upon non-Oregon resources for financial support is an inference of residency in another state. Evidence of Financial Dependency (1) In determining whether a student is financially dependent, a student must provide: 20 Admissions (a) Evidence of established domicile of the person claiming the student as a dependent; and (b) The identification of the student as a dependent on the federal and state income tax returns of the person claiming the student as a dependent. Additional documentation to substantiate dependency during the current calendar year may be required at a later time if deemed necessary by the institution. (2) A student who provides evidence that he or she is a financially dependent person under these rules shall not be required to establish a 12-month domicile prior to classification of resident status, provided such a student may not be classified as a resident while receiving financial assistance from another state or state agency for educational purposes. Residence Classification of Armed Forces Personnel (1) For purposes of this rule, members of the armed forces means officers and enlisted personnel of: (a) The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard of the United States; (b) Reserve components of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard of the United States; (c) The National Guard of the United States and the Oregon National Guard. (2) Active members of the armed forces and their spouses and dependent children shall be considered residents for purposes of the instructional fee if the members: (a) Reside in this state while assigned to duty at any base, station, shore establishment, or other facility in this state; (b) Reside in this state while serving as members of the crew of a ship that has an Oregon port of shore establishment as its home port or permanent station; or (c) Reside in another state or a foreign country and file Oregon state income taxes no later than 12 months before leaving active duty. (3) An Oregon resident entering the armed forces retains Oregon residence classification until it is voluntarily relinquished. (4) An Oregon resident who has been in the armed forces and assigned on duty outside of Oregon, including a person who establishes residency under section (2)(c) of this rule, must, within a reasonable time, demonstrate an intent to retain classification as an Oregon resident. Such intent may be shown by returning to Oregon within six months after completing service in the armed forces. (5) A person who continues to reside in Oregon after separation from the armed forces may count the time spent in the sta
