  • Student Body Diversity
  • Cost of Attendance
    • The cost of attendance reflects the amount of money a typical student is projected to need for school-related expenses during the academic year based on residency, housing arrangements, and degree program. The Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships publishes estimated costs of tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. Actual expenses can vary depending on a number of factors, including but not limited to: number of credits being taken, degree program, housing arrangements, residency, and lifestyle choices.

If you have further questions concerning cost of attendance please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships at 541-346-3221 or financialaid@uoregon.edu.
  • Net Price Calculator
    • Net Price is the amount that a student pays to attend an institution in a single academic year AFTER subtracting scholarships and grants the student receives. A Net Price Calculator is available on our website and it allows prospective students to enter information about themselves to find out what students like them paid to attend the institution, after taking grants and scholarships into account. Net price results from the calculator are estimates and are not final or binding and may change. Please note a student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be eligible for federal student aid funds. For questions please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships at 541-346-3221 or financialaid@uoregon.edu.
  • Refund Policy
    • Refunds are based on assessed tuition and class fees, and calculated from the date you officially drop a class or reduce credits, not the date of your last class attendance. Your registration will not be cancelled for nonpayment of tuition. You must either pay your tuition and fees or notify the University if you do not intend to complete the term. More information about the University's refund policy, including the refund schedule, can be found on this website. For further questions please contact the Office of the Registrar at 541-346-2935 or registrar@uoregon.edu.
  • Requirements for Withdrawal
  • Return of Federal Financial Aid
    • If you withdraw from the University and have received financial aid, funds may need to be returned to the appropriate financial aid programs, possibly creating a bill on your University student billing account. Financial aid is "earned" for each day that a student participates in class. You may be expected to repay the "unearned" portion of your financial aid if you withdraw from school or receive non-passing grades in your classes. Since non-passing grades do not confirm participation, students who receive non-passing grades must prove participation; most commonly a written statement from a faculty member detailing participation or a printout from Canvas showing grades earned in the course. More information about Return of Federal Financial Aid can be found on this website. For questions please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships at 541-346-3221 or financialaid@uoregon.edu.

  • Academic Programs (Educational Program, Instructional Facilities, and Faculty)
  • Transfer of Credit Policies and Articulation Agreements
    • The determination of the transferability of courses occurs within the Division of Student Services and Enrollment Management. This articulation is completed by the Office of the Registrar, whose staff determines appropriate levels and equivalencies for courses from fully-accredited post-secondary institutions. For some institutions, a full articulation agreement exists; i.e., a comprehensive collection of an entire course catalog is articulated, and equivalencies can be viewed on the Registrar’s Transfer Credit Equivalencies website. The University of Oregon encourages all applicants to submit their transfer work on official transcripts as early as possible so that course transferability may be determined. For both domestic and international institutions, course transfer will be determined upon receipt of an official transcript for a student who has submitted an application for admission. University of Oregon participates in a dual enrollment program in which students can take courses at two schools at once. A list of articulation agreements may be found on this website. For more information please contact the Office of Admissions at 541-346-3201 or admissions@uoregon.edu or for transfer credit equivalencies please contact the Office of the Registrar at 541-346-2935 or registrar@uoregon.edu.

Student Financial Assistance

  • Student Financial Aid Information
  • Federal Student Financial Aid Penalties for Drug Law Violations
    • *Note: Beginning June 17, 2021, this is no longer a student eligibility requirement for federal financial aid for the 2021-2022 school year and beyond.
    • A federal or state drug conviction (but not a local or municipal conviction) can disqualify a student for FSA funds. Convictions only count against a student for aid eligibility purposes (FAFSA question 23c) if they were for an offense that occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving federal student aid—they do not count if the offense was not during such a period, unless the student was denied federal benefits for drug trafficking by a federal or state judge. Also, a conviction that was reversed, set aside, or removed from the student’s record does not count, nor does one received when she was a juvenile, unless she was tried as an adult. The University will notify each student who becomes ineligible for federal aid due to a drug conviction. Enrolled students are notified annually by the Office of the Dean of Students that they may lose financial aid as a consequence of drug conviction. For more information please visit the Federal Student Aid website. Additional questions can be answered by the Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships at 541-346-3221 or financialaid@uoregon.edu.
  • Disbursement for Books and Supplies
    • The University must provide a way for a student who is eligible for federal aid to obtain or purchase, by the 7th day of the term, the books and supplies applicable to the term, if 10 days before the beginning of the term the institution could disburse funds the student is eligible for and assuming the funds were disbursed, the student would have a credit balance (i.e. refund). UO meets this requirement as we disburse (pay) funds up to 10 days before the beginning of the term and refunds would be available to students around the beginning of each term (and certainly before the 7th day of the term), if conditions above are met. For questions please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships at 541-346-3221 or financialaid@uoregon.edu.
