Next Steps
Ready to begin your journey at Oregon Law? Here are the next steps.
✔ Confirm Your Enrollment Decision and Accept Your Offer of Admission
To reserve your seat in the Oregon Law Class of 2029, you must submit a nonrefundable $900 seat deposit by the deadline stated in your offer of admission. This amount will be applied to your student account and credited toward your tuition and fee charges.
✔ Visit Campus
If you haven’t had a chance to visit campus yet, we offer tours throughout the week and leading up to orientation. You can schedule a time to visit or to speak with someone in the Office of Admissions here.
If you’re unable to find a time that works by visiting the link above, please email us to arrange an alternative time.
✔ Arrange for Financial Aid
To apply for financial aid, such as federal and/or private loans, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Be sure to designate the University of Oregon (school code #003223) as a recipient. Please submit your FAFSA by March 1, 2026. The Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships processes financial aid awards for all students. When you receive your financial aid award notification, you will need to follow the directions to formally accept your financial aid. If you do not formally accept your financial aid, it will not be disbursed.
✔ Secure Housing
Most law students choose to live off-campus in apartments or shared houses. On-campus housing is available, but very limited. If you are looking for a roommate, we encourage you to join the Class of 2029 Facebook group to connect with other incoming students. Visit the housing page for more information.
✔ Submit Proof of Immunizations
For you health and the health of the entire campus community, the University of Oregon has immunization requirements for all incoming students. Students are encouraged to satisfy these requirements before arriving on campus. For more information, visit the University Health Center’s website.
✔ Consider Health Insurance
Domestic students are not required to have health insurance, but have the option to purchase coverage through the UO Student Health Benefits Plan. The UO requires all international students and their eligible dependents to purchase the UO insurance, or obtain a waiver by having other insurance that meets the UO insurance requirements.
✔ Claim your DuckID
Your DuckID is your primary account for technology access on campus. You will use your DuckID login for email, Canvas, wireless internet access, and many other services. Incoming 1L students will be able to claim their DuckID in mid-June.
✔ Submit Final Transcripts
If you have not yet sent a final copy of your final transcript to the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), please do so as soon as possible. A final transcript confirms the type of bachelor’s degree you were awarded and the conferral date. The final transcript is required as part of the American Bar Association (ABA) law student certification process. Please ensure that your transcript is received by LSAC no later than July 15, 2026.
✔ Attend Orientation
Mandatory Orientation for 1L students will take place August 17th-21st. This program is a comprehensive introduction to the School of Law, and you will learn about all the components of the law school experience that will be critical to your success. The first day of class is Monday, August 24, 2026.
