Get advising help & plan schedules

During summer, students need to claim DuckIDs, set up UO email, and register for IntroDUCKtion to access advising. 

  • If you declared a major when you applied to UO, you will be assigned an advising team that specializes in your major during IntroDUCKtion. 
  • If you haven't declared a major yet, you will meet with a member of the CHC advising team during IntroDUCKtion. When you start your first term, you can meet with the University's Office of Academic Advising.
  • All CHC students will have regular access to the CHC’s First-Year Advising Team when their first term starts.

Take part in IntroDUCKtion

IntroDUCKtion is the summer orientation program for new students and their families to become acquainted with the University of Oregon and the Clark Honors College.

  • During our Summer Drop-in Hours, we invite incoming students and parents to stop by Chapman Hall take a self-guided walk through the CHC’s academic home.
  • Additional orientation programs for parents and families are available throughout the summer.

Check back for IntroDUCKtion 2024, Summer Drop-in Hours, and Parent and family orientation dates and information.

Tour our New Residence Hall

The Clark Honors College's Residential Community (RC) has a home in the New Residence Hall (Building B).  

Most first-year CHC students choose to live in the Honors College RC. However, you do not have to live in the CHC RC. Some honors college students choose instead to participate and live in one of the many other RCs offered by the UO. Even if you don't live at New Residence Hall, you still are a member of the CHC RC and can participate in all the honors college events that take place there.
