Hi all, I’m writing to let you know that the Navigate Mobile App for Students will be getting a makeover on May 23rd! This transition will be seamless and mainly a modernization/beautification update. The attached images describe the updates in more detail.

 

What can students expect?

  • Students will be informed of this upcoming update via an announcement and notifications in their app.
  • Students will not need to download an update for their app from the App Store or Google Play.
  • Those already using the Navigate360 Student app won’t need to re-log in.
  • New users will still be able to easily download the app from the App Store or Google Play and sign in with their SSO credentials.
  • This update does not affect the Navigate desktop experience.

Best,

Maggie

2024 Health Graduate School Admission Statistics

deck Announcements

Hello Campus Partners,

I hope ya’ll are surviving the business of spring term! I am emailing you to share information about the 2024 Health Graduate School Admissions Data. Due to program restructuring, hiring, etcs., data was put on the back burner for a couple of years. We are grateful to now have the capacity to collect this information and provide you all with these updates!

The student facing and faculty version of these PDF are mostly the same. Main difference is the student version provides more details about UO Pre-Health Advising mission, structure, and services. Please feel free to share this with prospective or current students. My goal is to provide these reports on a yearly basis. If you have questions about any of the information provided or if there are other data points you would like to see reflected in the report for future years, please let me know.

 

Thank you for all the support you provide pre-health students!

Summer online core education at LCC

deck UO Advising

Hi all,

My wonderful colleague @Daniel Mitchell put together a spreadsheet outlining online core education courses available this summer at LCC and we wanted you all to have access: Lane Community College online core education Summer 2025.xlsx.

Let me know if you have any access issues.

Happy Friday,
Courtney

 

I also want to add that Lane Community College gives in-state tuition to the states neighboring Oregon (California, Idaho, Nevada, Washington); but they also charge in-state tuition for all online classes at $149 per credit. A potentially cost-effective option for out-of-state students!

LCC Tuition Rates for Residents, Non-Residents, and Online Students

LCC Tuition page: https://www.lanecc.edu/costs-admission/tuition-fees-and-payments/credit-fees-and-expenses

Fees appear to be about $100 or less: https://www.lanecc.edu/costs-admission/tuition-fees-and-payments/credit-fees-and-expenses

AEIS New Home and Information

deck UO Advising

“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”  – Mark Twain

 

I’ve been told by one of my former colleagues that advisors on campus think that AEIS courses are dead. While the American English Institute, which housed AEIS (Academic English for International Students) is indeed dead as of June 15 (R.I.P.), AEIS courses will be housed in the Yamada Language Center which is part of GSL.

 

Here is a link to the AEIS information page: https://ylc.uoregon.edu/aeis  Please bookmark this page for easy reference.

 

As we head into the season of IntroDUCKtion and freshman registration for Fall, please note that some international students will be required to take the AEIS Placement test to see if they need additional English language classes. We can work together on this.

 

What I am doing:

As the AEIS advisor, I am doing weekly audits of International Admission reports to identify students who need to test and sending their information to the UO Testing Center. I am also identifying students who are exempt but who show AEIS requirements on their degree guide and sending their information to the Registrar’s Office. Since this is a hand audit, I am not always perfect.

 

What you can do:

If you are advising an international student this summer and are not sure if they need to test, please contact me (aeisinfo@uoregon.edu  or argoing@uoregon.edu) . I will be monitoring my emails this summer and I should be able to respond in short order. It’s very important that students who have additional English requirements complete them in a timely manner. This is a UO Admissions requirement.

 

Also, if you are advising an international student and they seem to be struggling in their communication, but you see that they do not have AEIS requirements, you can suggest that they take AEIS classes to help support them in their first year. If they think that they want to take a class or two, please email me with their name and ID number and I can give them permission.

 

The Fall AEIS classes are:

AEIS 101 – Academic Oral Communication

AEIS 110 – Written Discourse 1

 

If you have any questions, please contact me. I am happy to answer any questions you have.

 

Good luck with IntroDUCKtion this summer!

LCB tuition differential on class search

deck Announcements

Hello all,

 

This year, TFAB approved an increase in the LCB tuition differential from $20/credit to $30/credit.  (See the 6th bullet point at the bottom of this website.)

 

Tuition differentials are part of guaranteed tuition, so continuing students will remain under the $20/credit differential, whereas incoming students in the 2025 Tuition Cohort will have the new amount.

 

The attached PDF explains these changes and the effect they have on how the differential appears on the class search, effective summer term 2025. (LCB tuition differential update.pdf)

 

Please let me know if you have questions.

Thanks,
