As you apply for admission to the University of Oregon, use this detailed month-by-month guide to stay on track. A brief list of application deadlines is also available, but keep in mind that many departments and majors have earlier deadlines.

Housing: Registering for University Housing does not have a universal deadline. As soon as you are admitted to the UO (and not before) you'll be able to register for housing, make your initial housing payment, and sign your housing contract all online. Space is limited, so apply as soon as possible.
