Information Technology
DuckID & UO Email Address
Incoming students will receive instructions during the summer regarding how to claim their DuckID. This will allow you to access your University of Oregon email address. Email is the primary means of communication at the law school and on campus. For security reasons, once you matriculate, University staff will communicate with you primarily via your “uoregon.edu” account.
Duckweb Accesss
DuckWeb is a protected UO intranet site where students can view their class schedules, transcripts, financial aid awards, billing account and UO employment records. Students will also use DuckWeb to accept their financial aid award and register for classes as 2Ls and 3Ls (the law school registrar registers students for all first-year courses). Individual 1L schedules will not be posted to DuckWeb until just before Orientation.
Laptop Information
If you do not already have a laptop you are strongly discouraged from purchasing a laptop prior to August 1. By waiting until August 1, you will ensure that you have a working laptop that remains under warranty when you take the bar exam after graduation. Students with laptops under warranty are eligible for repair or replacement, as appropriate, free of charge.
The Oregon Law IT staff will communicate with students in August regarding the computer specifications required to most effectively access the UO’s system. During orientation, IT will be available in the Commons to assist you in setting up your device to access the UO system.
University Health Services
University Health Center
The University Health Center (UHC) is located at 1590 East 13th Avenue and provides a wide variety of medical and health-care services to currently enrolled UO students who have paid student fees. The UHC is not open to students’ families/partners. There is a non-refundable “no-show” fee charged for missed appointments.
Immunizations
All incoming students must have up-to-date immunizations, or complete a waiver with the University Health Center. The UHC places a pre-emptive hold on all incoming student accounts that remains in place until students submit the required immunization form and complete the tuberculosis (TB) screening questionnaire. Additional information regarding the University’s immunizations requirements can be found at the link below.
Medical Services
University Health Services charges rates similar to what you would experience at a community-based healthcare provider and is in-network with many health insurance plans. It is very important that you check with your health insurance plan so you understand if and how your plan covers services at University Health Services.
Health Insurance
We encourage students who do not have health insurance to consider purchasing coverage through the University Health Center. Students who are aware they will lose coverage during the academic year (for example, if turning 26 and no longer eligible for parents’ policy) should contact the Insurance Office at least 45 days before coverage ends.
Students may apply for financial aid to offset the cost of student coverage. Students with families may purchase health insurance for their partner/spouse/children; however, financial aid is not available to cover the cost of insuring spouses, partners or children.
Counseling Center
The Counseling and Testing Center provides individual and group counseling sessions free of charge for students. Students who know they need counseling services should establish a relationship early in the semester. Due to limited resources, the Counseling Center is unable to provide long-term therapy. If you are aware that you will require significant counseling support during your time in Eugene, you are encouraged to make efforts to identify a counselor in the community over the summer. The Counseling Center can assist with referrals.
ID Card Services
UO ID Cards & ID Photos
UO students are required to have a campus ID card that includes their photograph. During the summer, a link will be posted to submit a photo to be used on your ID card. Detailed information is available on the UO Card Services website. Your ID card is required to access many campus services, including to access services in the Financial Aid and Business Offices, to access the Rec Center and the law school locker room, to borrow books from campus libraries, as a debit card for purchases on campus, and to obtain tickets to UO sporting events. Even if you completed your undergraduate education at the UO, you will need to get a new card that reflects your status as a law student. Your campus ID photograph will also be used for the Law School Photo Directory.
Student Lockers
Each student is assigned a locker annually. You will receive your locker assignment during Orientation. Lockers are located on the first floor of the building. You must use your assigned locker, and are responsible for providing your own lock. Combination locks are recommended, and are available for purchase in the law school Duck Store. We recommend against hard-case locks as there is a charge to remove them.
Campus Recreation
The UO Rec Center is located one block west of the Knight Law Center and offers a gymnasium, weight rooms, a pool & hot tub, a cross-fit room, a mat room, and locker rooms. Law students may use UO Rec Center offerings and sports facilities for open recreation when they are not scheduled for class use. For more information, including hours, visit the Rec Center website.
Duck Athletics
Students may access most UO sporting events by presenting their ID cards. However, student tickets are required for football and men’s basketball games. Detailed ticket information, including information on how to secure tickets for spouses, partners, or children, is available at goducks.com.
