It is the Association of American Universities flagship institution of the Oregon University System. The university is a community of scholars dedicated to the highest standards of academic inquiry, learning, and service. Recognizing that knowledge is the fundamental wealth of civiliza- tion, the university strives to enrich the public that sustains it through • a commitment to undergraduate education, with a goal of helping the individual learn to question critically, think logically, communicate clearly, act creatively, and live ethically • a commitment to graduate education to develop creators and innovators who will generate new knowledge and shape experience for the benefit of humanity • a recognition that research, both basic and applied, is essential to the intellectual health of the university, as well as to the enrichment of the lives of Oregonians, by energizing the state’s economic, cultural, and political structure • the establishment of a framework for lifelong learning that leads to productive careers and to the enduring joy of inquiry • the integration of teaching, research, and service as mutually enriching enterprises that together accomplish the university’s mission and support its spirit of community • the acceptance of the challenge of an evolving social, political, and technological environment by welcoming and guiding change rather than reacting to it • a dedication to the principles of equality of opportunity and freedom from unfair discrimination for all members of the university community and an acceptance of true diversity as an affirmation of individual identity within a welcoming community • a commitment to international awareness and understanding, and to the development of a faculty and student body that are capable of participating effectively in a global society • the conviction that freedom of thought and expression is the bedrock principle on which university activity is based • the cultivation of an attitude toward citizenship that fosters a caring, supportive atmosphere on campus and the wise exercise of civic responsi- bilities and individual judgment throughout life • a continuing commitment to affordable public higher education oregon University System The Oregon University System (OUS) is governed by the State Board of Higher Education, whose members are appointed by the governor with confirmation by the Oregon Senate.

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 seven professional schools and colleges and the Robert D. Clark Honors College. Some 812 full-time and 407 part- time faculty members—and 1,312 graduate teaching and research assis- tants—serve as mentors, colleagues, and friends to the more than 20,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the university. Although most students are from Oregon, 24 percent are from other states and nearly 6 percent from other countries. The mix of backgrounds gives students a chance to know people they might not meet other- wise—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 some $90 million in research grants each year, primarily from federal agencies. The university’s science departments receive national atten- tion for their work in such areas as computer science, genetics, materials, optics, and neuroscience. Eight faculty members belong to the presti- gious American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and five have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Accreditation The University of Oregon was elected to membership in the Asso- ciation of American Universities in 1969. The university is accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges and the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. Individual programs in the university’s professional schools and colleges are accredited by the following organizations: Accrediting Council on Educa- tion in Journalism and Mass Communications American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business American Bar Association American Chemical Society American Psychological Association American Society of Landscape Architects American Speech-Language- Hearing Association Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education Council for Exceptional Children Foundation for Interior Design Education Research National Architectural Accredit- ing Board National Association of School Psychologists National Association of Schools of Music National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and - Administration National Athletic Trainers Association Planning Accreditation Board Teacher Standards and Practices Commission 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 govern- ments. They also serve as consul- tants 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 the Continuation Center’s Continuing Education program, which offers for-credit and noncredit activities throughout the state. Planning and technical assis- tance from the Community Service Center helps Oregon communities solve local problems and improve the quality of life in rural Oregon. For three 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 transla- tors in several coastal and central Oregon communities and cybercasts entertain listeners around the world. The university’s presence is evident at its off-campus facilities—Pine Mountain Observatory in Central Oregon near Bend—and its academic programs in Central Oregon, at the coastal Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in Charleston, the UO Port- land Center, and Portland’s CaPItal Center. The university is the second largest employer in Lane County, with an estimated annual economic impact of more than $700 million. The campus experience The university’s 295-acre campus is an arboretum of more than 500 species and more than 3,000 specimens of trees. Campus build- ings date from 1876, when Deady Hall opened, to 1999, when the William W. Knight Law Center was completed. 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 Association of Museums, is noted for its collec- tions of Oriental and Northwest art. Newly expanded facilities at the museum have doubled its exhibition space. 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’ 2.6-million-volume collection. Campus athletic facilities include the 54,000-seat Autzen Stadium, the Casanova Athletic Center, Ed Moshofsky Sports Center, Papé Field, McArthur Court, Hayward Field’s all-weather track, the Bowerman Family Building, the Student Recreation Center, and open-air and covered tennis courts. Student-guided tours of the univer- sity are available Monday through Friday. Tours may be arranged by calling (541) 346-3014. 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 campus visits desk in the lobby of Oregon Hall.

Options within majors or minors are additional ways of focusing academic inter- ests, but they do not appear on grade transcripts. Other terms used for options include areas of concentration, emphasis, focus, or specialization; preparatory programs; primary and secondary areas or subjects; fields or subfields; programs of emphasis or study; study emphases; and tracks. Technically, there are no minors in graduate degree and certificate programs. Graduate students, like undergraduates, may pursue options within their major disciplines. 8 Organization The University of Oregon’s largest academic units are its colleges and professional schools. Each consists of smaller units called departments or programs or areas. The academic year is divided into three terms (fall, winter, spring) and one summer session. Where to Find It This catalog has three sections. The first contains information about the academic calendar, admission, registration, tuition and fees, financial aid and scholarships, employment, housing, and academic and career planning. Next is the curriculum section, which describes all the university’s academic programs in detail: faculty members, degree and nondegree programs, and course listings. This section is organized by colleges and schools, beginning with Graduate Studies. Next comes Honors at Oregon, followed by the College of Arts and Sciences, its departments and programs arranged alphabetically. The six professional schools and colleges follow in alphabetical order. The last section contains academic resources and student services. Still Can’t Find It? In addition to the Contents, the Faculty and Subject Indexes at the back are invaluable for locating a person or topic quickly. Cross - references within the text refer to listings in the Subject Index; cross- references in bold type indicate major headings. Definitions The academic terms defined below are used throughout this catalog. Certificate. A formal document that recognizes academic achievement in a specific discipline—usually as an adjunct to an undergraduate or graduate degree program. Stand- alone certificates are offered through Continuing Education. 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 instruc- tional subdivision of a subject, offered through part of a term, a whole term, or over several terms. 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 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. Curriculum. An organized program of study arranged to provide integrated cultural or professional education. Discipline. A branch of learning or field of study (e.g., mathematics, history, psychology). 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 Commis- sion. Generic courses. Courses numbered 196, 198, 199, 399–410, 503–510, 601–610, and 704–710, for which credit is variable and which may be repeated for credit. Instructor’s permission is often required for registration. Grade point average (GPA). The GPA is determined by dividing total points for all letter grades—A+ through F—by total credits. Grading option. Unless specified otherwise, nonmajors may take courses either graded (A+ through F) or pass/no pass (P/N). The class schedule identifies courses for which majors are limited to a particular grading option. Group-satisfying course. A course that counts toward partial fulfillment of bachelor’s degree requirements in one of the three general-educa- tion groups: arts and letters, social science, science.

Freshman Admission Application Procedures Freshman applicants must submit the following to the Office of Admissions: 1. A completed application for admission and a nonrefundable $50 application fee 2. At the time of application, a transcript showing at least six semesters of the applicant’s high school record 3. The results of either the SAT Reasoning Test or the American College Test (ACT) with the optional writing component 4. A final transcript of the applicant’s high school record certifying graduation, when avail- able Freshman Admission Prerequisites To be considered for admission to the University of Oregon, students must complete the minimum number of years of study in certain disciplines and meet the grade point average or test score alternatives outlined below. Fulfulling these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Fourteen total units (one unit equals one year) of college preparatory course work, each with a grade of C– or better, are required. Specific subject requirements include: English—four years. All four years should include college-preparatory composition and literature with emphasis on and frequent practice in writing expository prose. Mathematics—three years. Study must include first-year algebra and two additional years of college preparatory mathematics such as geometry, advanced algebra, trigonometry, analytical geometry, calculus, finite mathematics, advanced applications, probability and statistics, or courses that integrate topics from two or more of these areas. It is recommended that an advanced mathematics course be taken in the senior year. Regard- less of the pattern of mathematics courses or the number of years of mathematics taken, the mathematics course work must culminate at the Algebra II (or equivalent) level or higher. Science—two years. Study must include a year each in two fields of college preparatory science such as biology, chemistry, physics, or earth and physical science (one laboratory science recommended). Social studies—three years. Study must include analysis of societal issues and events. It is strongly recommended that study includes knowledge and use of geographic information, patterns of United States and human history, structures and systems of U.S. government, and analysis of economic systems. Second-language proficiency. 1. Two years of the same second language in high school with a grade of C– or higher 2. Two terms of college-level study in the same second language 3. Proficiency test (e.g., SAT II or BYU Foreign Language Assessment) Options for meeting the second- language requirement, including American Sign Language, may be obtained from the Office of Admis- sions. Students admitted as excep- tions to the second-language require- ment must complete two terms of the same second language before graduating from the university. Address questions about demon- strating second-language proficiency to the Office of Admissions. PASS proficiency. The Proficiency- based Admission Standard System (PASS) may be used to meet some of the standards required for admis- sion. More information about PASS may be found on the OUS website.         13 Transfer Admission Students who have completed between 12 and 35 quarter credits of college work must meet the freshman requirements outlined above and the transfer requirements described here. Students who have completed 36 or more credits of college work, 24 of which must be graded, are considered for admission based only on a review of their college-level study. A minimum grade point average of 2.25 (2.50 for nonresidents) is required. Students must have successfully completed one course each in college-level writing and mathematics with grades of C– or better and must be eligible to return to the last college attended. Transfer students who graduated from high school or earned a GED spring 1997 or after must meet the freshman second-language requirement. Meeting these minimum standards does not guar- antee admission. Priority consideration is given to students who earn an associate of arts Oregon transfer degree from an Oregon community college. Transfer students who apply to one of the professional schools may be expected to show proficiency beyond the minimum requirement for transfer admission. See departmental sections of this catalog for details. Transfer of Credit The amount of credit transferred depends upon the nature of the applicant’s college work, which is evaluated according to the academic require- ments of the University of Oregon. Records from institutions fully accredited by appropriate accrediting associations are evaluated before admission is granted. Up to 124 credits from accredited community or junior colleges may be applied to the bachelor’s degree. See Bachelor’s Degree Requirements under Regis- tration and Academic Policies for requirements that apply to new undergraduates. Application Procedures Transfer applicants must submit the following to the Office of Admissions: 1. A completed application for admission and a nonrefundable $50 application fee 2. An official transcript from each college and university attended (an official transcript is one sent directly to the Office of Admissions by the college or university attended) Transfer students may submit their applications up to one year before they plan to enroll at the university. Applications and official transcripts should be received by the university by the dead- lines listed above to allow time for a complete evaluation of the transferred credits. Premajor Status The departments listed below admit new students only as premajors. A premajor student is eligible to take advantage of the department’s advising services and, in most cases, complete lower-divi- sion 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. Professional schools and arts and sciences depart- ments with premajor admission requirements are the Lundquist College of Business; School of Journalism and Communication; Asian studies; computer and information science; international studies; mathematics and computer science; and planning, public policy and management. Dual Enrollment Program The University of Oregon and Lane Community College offer a dual enrollment program that provides students with the academic and administrative advantages of simultaneous enrollment in both institutions. Enrollment may be limited. More information and an application for admission is available from the UO Office of Admissions and at the Students First center at Lane Community College. 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. The international freshman application deadline is March 15. The international transfer student application deadline is May 15. Applications received after the deadlines are considered on an individual basis. 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. A minimum score from one of the following tests is required: • Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)—500 (paper-based test), 173 (computer-based test) • English Language Proficiency Test (ELPT)—950 • International English Language Testing System (IELTS)—6.0 • Advanced Placement International English Language (APIEL)—3.0 All international students must take an English language placement test after arriving at the university. Placement test results determine whether students are required to take additional language-training in the Academic English for International Students (AEIS) program. Students placed in AEIS courses may also enroll in regular academic courses. Students with one of the following scores are exempt from taking the comprehensive placement test: • 575 or better on the paper based TOEFL • 233 or better on the computer-based TOEFL • 970 on the ELPT • 8.0 on the IELTS More information about the American English Institute and AEIS courses may be found in the Academic Resources section of this catalog and on the institute’s website. Application Procedure International applicants must submit the following to the Office of Admissions: 1. A completed application for admission and a nonrefundable $50 application fee 2. Official transcripts of all schoolwork taken beyond the eighth year of school (e.g., the equivalent of the American secondary school grades nine, ten, eleven, and twelve, and for   Admissions Admission Requirements To be considered for admission to the University of Oregon, students must have 1. Graduated from a standard or accredited high school and 2. Completed the subject requirements outlined above and 3. Earned a cumulative high school grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.00 on a 4.00 scale and completed 14 college preparatory units Students who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.25 and completed at least 16 college preparatory units are guaranteed admission. The applications of students with a GPA less than 3.25 and with fewer than 16 college preparatory units undergo a comprehensive review that considers such factors as strength of academic course work, grade trends, class rank, standardized test scores, academic motivation as demonstrated in the submitted essay, special talents, and the ability to enhance the diversity of the university. Cocurricular activi- ties are considered but will not compensate for lower grades or weaker course schedules. For the fullest consideration, students should request that an updated transcript be sent following completion of their seventh semester. A chart of the minimum SAT scores needed for admission consideration with a GPA below 3.00 on a 4.00 scale is available on the admissions website. Students who have not graduated from a standard or accredited high school may be considered for admission in one of the following ways: Test of General Educational Development (GED). Meet the minimum score of 410 on each subject examination and achieve an average subtest score of 580. SAT Reasoning and SAT Subject Examinations. Meet SAT/ACT requirements and earn an average score of 470 or above (940 total) on two College Board SAT Subject Tests—Mathematics level I or IIc, and another test of the student’s choice. An examination in a second language is strongly recommended to meet the language proficiency requirements needed to qualify for admission. Students who do not take the SAT subject test in a second language must prove language profi- ciency through another approved process. Automatic Admission Applicants who have earned at least a 3.25 cumu- lative GPA on a 4.00 scale and 16 academic units qualify for automatic admission. Computing Admission Grade Point Averages A numerical point value is assigned to graded work as follows: A=4 points per credit, B=3 points, C=2 points, D=1 point, F or N=0 points. The grade point average (GPA) equals the total points divided by total credits for which grades are received. Admission Exceptions Oregon University System policy permits the university to admit a limited number of freshmen who do not meet minimum require- ments. Requests for admission as an exception is reviewed by the admissions committee.

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 resi- dency 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 (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. (3) A “financially dependent person” is a person who, at the time of application for residency status: (a) declares himself or herself to be financially dependent; and (b) has been claimed as a dependent on the federal and state income tax returns of another person during the immediately preceding tax year. 580-010-0030 Determination of Residence (1) For purposes of admission and instruction fee assessment, OUS institutions shall classify a student as 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 educa- tion, 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 indepen- dent person who, prior to the term for which Oregon resident classification is requested, has both: (a) established and maintained a domicile in Oregon as provided under OAR 580-010-0029(1) 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 domi- cile as provided under OAR 580-010-0029(1) 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 under OAR 580-010-0031. (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 domi- cile under OAR 580-010-0029(1) for 12 consecu- tive months; and (b) during that period, has been primarily engaged in activities other than those of being a college student. Residency Consideration Factors 580-010-0031 (1) The following factors, although not necessarily conclusive or exclusive, have probative value in support of a claim for Oregon resident classifica- tion: (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 respon- sible for the student; (d) Acceptance of an offer of permanent employ- ment 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 classifica- tion 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;         15  Admissions (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 pay- ment 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 580-010-0033 (1) In determining whether a student is finan- cially dependent, a student must provide: (a) Evidence of established domicile as provided under OAR 580-010-0029(1) of the person claiming the student as a dependent; and (b) The identification of the student as a depen- dent on the federal and state income tax returns of the person claiming the student as a depen- dent. 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 finan cially dependent person under these rules shall not be required to establish a 12-month domi cile 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. 580-010-0035 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) Notwithstanding OAR 580-010-0030, 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 perma- nent 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 state while in the armed forces to support a claim for classification as an Oregon resident. (6) The dependent child and spouse of a person who is a resident under section (2) of this rule shall be considered an Oregon resident. “Depen- dent child” includes any child of a member of the armed forces who: (a) Is under 18 years of age and not married, otherwise emancipated or self-supporting; or (b) Is under 23 years of age, unmarried, enrolled in a full-time course of study in an institution of higher learning, and dependent on the member for over one-half of his/her support. 580-010-0037 Residence Classification of Members of Oregon Tribes (1) Students who are enrolled members of federally recognized tribes of Oregon or who are enrolled members of a Native American tribe which had traditional and customary tribal boundaries that included parts of the state of Oregon or which had ceded or reserved lands within the state of Oregon shall be assessed resi- dent tuition regardless of their state of residence.

Chereck, University Registrar (541) 346-2935 220 Oregon Hall http://registrar.uoregon.edu/ Student Records Policy In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the University of Oregon has formulated the Student Records Policy to outline the proper handling and release of student educational records. The following is a summary of that policy. The university maintains only student records relevant to the educational or related purposes of the university. Students enrolled in the university generally have the right to inspect educational records maintained by the university that directly affect them. Those records are not released to anyone other than the student without the signed, written consent of the student, with the following exceptions: (1) university personnel who have legitimate interests, (2) at the direction of a court, (3) in situations of health or safety emergency. Upon request the university releases directory information about the student, but the student may request, in writing, that such information not be released. The full text of the Student Records Policy is available from the Office of the Registrar and on the registrar’s website. Academic Year The university divides the academic year into three terms of approximately eleven weeks each (except for the School of Law, which uses a semester calendar). The summer session supplements the work of the fall, winter, and spring terms; a catalog and announcements are issued for that session. Students may enter the university at the begin- ning of any term, with the exception of archi- tecture students, who should see Application Deadlines under Admissions. The university’s new-student orientation, IntroDUCKtion, is held in July for freshmen and transfer students who enter fall term. All new students are urged to attend. See the Academic Calendar for this and other important dates during the current academic year. Students are held responsible for familiarity with university requirements governing such matters as registration, academic standards, student activities, student conduct, and organizations. Academic regulations are listed on the registrar’s website. About the UO Catalog. This publication, the 2005–6 University of Oregon Catalog, is a statement of university rules, regulations, and calendars that go into effect at the opening of fall term 2005. Changes to the university curriculum that were made through spring term 2005 are reflected in the academic sections of the catalog. Bachelor Degree Requirements, in this section of the catalog—including group-satisfying and multicultural course lists—have been updated         17  Registration and Academic Policies to reflect curriculum changes that were made through spring term 2005. A student who is admitted and enrolls at the university during any academic year may graduate under the general requirement provi- sions of the catalog in effect that year, provided the catalog has not expired. A student may choose to graduate under the general requirements of a subsequent catalog, provided he or she completes all of those requirements. Major requirements are determined by the academic departments and programs; requirements are subject to change for students who are not continuously enrolled. See Catalog Expiration and Requirements Policies in the Contents section of this catalog for more information. Undergraduate and graduate degrees and certifi- cates are listed in the Degrees, Majors, Minors, and Certificates section of this catalog. For details about graduate degrees, see the Graduate School section. Details on major classification and procedures for change appear in the class schedule. Grading Systems The university has two grading systems. When regulations permit, a student may elect to be evaluated for a course with a letter grade or pass/ no pass (P/N). Letter-graded work is designated A, B, C, D, or F. Pass/no pass work is designated P or N. An asterisk after the P or N indicates that the course is offered P/N only. See Bachelor’s Degree Requirements for regulations on graded credits. Each department, school, or special program establishes regulations on pass/no pass courses for its majors. Before exercising the P/N option, students should confer with advisers. Students must choose their grading option at the time of registration and are permitted to change it only within the period allowed. Graded Student work is graded as follows: A, excellent; B, good; C, satisfactory; D, inferior; F, unsatisfactory (no credit awarded). Instructors may affix + or – to the grades A, B, C, and D. Pass/No Pass Courses that are offered pass/no pass (P/N) only are assigned P* or N* grades. Courses offered for letter grades or pass/no pass use P or N grades without an asterisk. Student work may be graded as follows: P (pass), satisfactory performance (C– or better for under- graduate course work, B– or better for graduate course work), or N (no pass), unsatisfactory performance, no credit awarded (D+ or worse for undergraduate course work, C+ or worse for grad- uate course work). The class schedule designates courses that are offered only pass/no pass. Passing credits are also awarded for advanced placement and College-Level Examination Program work and for work taken at another collegiate institution if the director of admissions cannot equate the quality of the work to the UO grading system. Marks AU (audit). Student-initiated mark. Audit enroll- ments are recorded on the student’s academic record, but no credit is earned by audit. Audited classes do not satisfy degree requirements, nor do they count toward the Graduate School’s continuous enrollment requirement. I (incomplete). Instructor-initiated mark. A mark of I may be issued when the quality of work is satisfactory but a minor yet essential requirement of the course has not been completed for reasons acceptable to the instructor. Faculty and students should develop a contract outlining the require- ments and specific deadlines for making up the incomplete. Contracts should be filed in the faculty member’s departmental office. Incompletes Assigned to Undergraduate Students Prior to Winter Term 2005. If a degree has not been awarded and the student is still attending the university, the instructor must file a grade in the Office of the Registrar within four terms of attendance following the assignment of the incomplete. If the student is no longer attending the university and has not earned a degree, the grade filing deadline is extended to three calendar years from the date the incomplete was assigned. Earlier deadlines may be set by the instructor, dean, or department head. For students graduating, removal of incompletes needed to satisfy degree requirements must be filed with the Office of the Registrar within the above deadlines, but no later than the Friday following exam week of the graduating term. Removal of incompletes not needed for degree requirements must be filed within the above dead- lines but no later than thirty days after the degree is awarded. Incompletes awarded prior to winter term 2005 but not resolved within the thirty-day deadline will remain on the academic record after the degree is awarded and cannot be removed. Incompletes Assigned to Undergraduate Students Beginning Winter Term 2005. Effective winter term 2005, undergraduate students have one calendar year to make up an incomplete mark assigned by a UO faculty member. Earlier deadlines may be set by the instructor, dean, or department head. Failure to make up the incom- plete by the end of one calendar year will result in the mark of I automatically changing to a grade of F or N. For students graduating, removal of incompletes awarded winter term 2005 and after must be filed with the Office of the Registrar by the middle of the student’s term of graduation. Incompletes awarded winter term 2005 or later will be automatically changed to a grade of F or N prior to conferral of the degree. Supplemental grade changes must be filed no later than thirty days after the degree is awarded. Grades of F or N will remain on the academic record after the degree is awarded and cannot be removed. Incompletes Assigned to Graduate Students. Graduate students must convert graduate course incompletes within one calendar year of the assignment of the incomplete. Students may request additional time for the removal of the incomplete by submitting a petition stating the course requirements that were not initially completed, with the instructor’s signature, to the dean of the Graduate School for review. This policy does not apply to incompletes routinely assigned to courses applying to the completion of research (601), thesis (503), dissertation (603), and terminal projects (609, 709). W (withdrawal). Student-initiated mark. Students may withdraw from a course through web regis- tration. See the registrar’s website for deadlines. X (no grade reported). Registrar-initiated mark. The instructor did not report a grade for the student. Y (no basis for grade). Instructor-initiated mark. There is no basis for evaluating the student’s performance. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is computed for all work done at the University of Oregon, including courses for which credit is deducted for repeti- tion. Four points are assigned for each credit of A, three points for each credit of B, two points for each credit of C, one point for each credit of D, and zero points for each credit of F. The plus sign increases the points assigned the letter grade by 0.30 per credit, and the minus sign decreases the points assigned the letter grade by 0.30 per credit. The grade point average is calcu- lated by dividing total points by total credits of A, B, C, D, and F. Marks of AU, I, W, X, Y, and the grades of P and N are disregarded in the computa- tion of the grade point average. Application for an Undergraduate Degree Students who plan to receive a bachelor’s degree from the University of Oregon must submit an application through the university’s online information system, DuckWeb, by the fourth week of classes in the term preceding the term of anticipated graduation. Advance notice to the Office of the Registrar of the intent to graduate permits timely updating of degree audits, allowing students to plan or change their final term’s course schedule to ensure completion of all requirements. All grade changes, removals of incompletes, and transfer work necessary for completion of degree requirements must be on file in the Office of the Registrar by the Friday following the end of the term of graduation. Academic records are sealed thirty days after the conferral of a degree; no changes to the record will be made following that date. Applications for graduate degrees are available from the Graduate School. Bachelor’s Degree Requirements Students who were admitted before fall term 2002 and who graduate fall 2009 or after must satisfy fall 2002 requirements. See Catalog Expiration and Requirements Policies in the Contents section of this catalog.
