Application Instructions
In order to expedite the process, applicants are required to apply online. Please review the following detailed application instructions carefully before completing the application.
The UO uses the quarter system which divides the academic year into four terms of relatively equal lengths (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer). Prior to submitting the UO Online Graduate Admissions Application, please review the UO Academic Calendar to ensure that you are submitting an application for the correct term.
In order to review your application, it must be complete. An application is not considered complete until all of the materials listed below have been received. You will receive an email confirmation once your application is complete. Admission decisions are generally available 30-45 days AFTER an application has been completed and processed.
