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,

MS in Management

deck Announcements, Student Opportunities

Hello everyone,

The Lundquist College of Business is launching an MS in Management Fall 2025. The program is designed for non-business majors and does not require professional experience. It is a great option for undergraduates across campus who are looking to gain business skills and access to professional development and networking opportunities. We are planning to launch the program with a small cohort this fall.

 

I have attached a one-page document that can be shared along with the link to the program page on our website. https://business.uoregon.edu/programs/ms-management.

 

If you or students have questions, they can reach out either of the following contacts:

 

Angela Davis: https://business.uoregon.edu/directory/faculty-staff/all/davisan

Caitlin Biddulph: https://business.uoregon.edu/directory/faculty-staff/all/biddulph

 

Thank you in advance for spreading the word about this new opportunity.

MS in Management

Best,

Kim

What to do if you encounter immigration enforcement on campus

deck Announcements

Hello,

Apologies if this is repeat information for anyone, but we wanted to share this vital information that many folks have been asking about. This message was sent last week from CAS Dean Chris Poulsen…

I understand many of our CAS faculty and staff have concerns and questions about what to do if they are faced with immigration officers on campus. We have created a wallet card for our community, based on UO Legal’s model, which provides guidance and contact information. You may access the card here. Feel free to forward the link to your departments and ASUs so they can print out the card (print actual size) and keep it handy.

And in case you missed it, OVPRI issued several updates last week. The updated website includes information on cuts to Department of Energy facilities and administrative rate, updates on NIH lawsuits, the next steps for terminated NEH grants, a summary of Friday’s open forum and a new FAQs webpage.

I encourage you to share these updates and the FAQ with faculty and staff as well.

Thank you,
Chris

Public Statement from leaders of America’s colleges, universities, and scholarly societies

deck Announcements

400+ US Academic Leaders have signed a statement condemning the Trump Administrations actions on higher education, including UO’s president, Karl Sholz.

The Call for Constructive Engagement can be found on the American Association of Colleges & Universities website with the most recent list of other signatories. They are continuing to accept signatures from current leaders of colleges, universities, and scholarly societies.

 

The letter reads:

As leaders of America’s colleges, universities, and scholarly societies, we speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education. We are open to constructive reform and do not oppose legitimate government oversight. However, we must oppose undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live, and work on our campuses. We will always seek effective and fair financial practices, but we must reject the coercive use of public research funding.

America’s system of higher learning is as varied as the goals and dreams of the students it serves. It includes research universities and community colleges; comprehensive universities and liberal arts colleges; public institutions and private ones; freestanding and multi-site campuses. Some institutions are designed for all students, and others are dedicated to serving particular groups. Yet, American institutions of higher learning have in common the essential freedom to determine, on academic grounds, whom to admit and what is taught, how, and by whom. Our colleges and universities share a commitment to serve as centers of open inquiry where, in their pursuit of truth, faculty, students, and staff are free to exchange ideas and opinions across a full range of viewpoints without fear of retribution, censorship, or deportation.

Because of these freedoms, American institutions of higher learning are essential to American prosperity and serve as productive partners with government in promoting the common good. Colleges and universities are engines of opportunity and mobility, anchor institutions that contribute to economic and cultural vitality regionally and in our local communities. They foster creativity and innovation, provide human resources to meet the fast-changing demands of our dynamic workforce, and are themselves major employers. They nurture the scholarly pursuits that ensure America’s leadership in research, and many provide healthcare and other essential services. Most fundamentally, America’s colleges and universities prepare an educated citizenry to sustain our democracy.

The price of abridging the defining freedoms of American higher education will be paid by our students and our society. On behalf of our current and future students, and all who work at and benefit from our institutions, we call for constructive engagement that improves our institutions and serves our republic.

Important information about WR transfer courses

deck UO Advising

Dear advisors,

As you likely know, students who take WR 121z and/or 122z outside of UO earn direct equivalencies that count the same as UO’s WR 121z and WR 122z.

Other transfer composition courses without the “Z” designation will show on a student’s transfer evaluation as WR 1xxT, 2xxT, or 3xxT. These courses can still meet writing core education requirements even though they are not direct equivalencies. Courses that count towards the general education writing requirement will have the words English Composition listed in the course title on the transfer evaluation report.  Screenshot below:

Transfer Evaluation Report view:

WR 2XXT English Composition

More information:

These courses will receive a “smart code,” either WR 100T, 200T, 300T.  (Advisors don’t see this code, it is back-end coding completed by the Registrar’s office).

  • These courses can apply to either writing course requirement (WR 121z or WR 122z, core education).
    • For example, if a student already has WR 121z completed, the transfer course will apply to the WR II requirement. If a student has neither of the writing requirements met, the transfer WR class will filter into the WR 121 slot on Ducks on Track (DoT), however, if a student then registers for WR 121z, the WR transfer course will switch to the WR II slot on DoT.
  • If the student has two courses that earn this smart code, then it can apply to both WR 121 and WR II, completing the WR requirement.
  • These courses will meet the pre-req for both WR 121z and WR 122z – meaning a student should be able to register for WR 122z or WR 123z without needing an override from the Composition Program.
    • Please reach out to the RO if a student is having issues with registration.
  • These courses will not complete major requirements that specifically require WR 121z or WR 122z.  However, departments are encouraged to accept the transfer code WR 100T, 200T, 300T for major requirements rather than have the student take the UO course.  Exceptions would be submitted to the DoT team.

Other:

  • WR 1xxT/2xxT/3xxT without “English Composition” in course title on the Transfer Evaluation Report does not count as writing I or II course, but a student can petition the Composition Program to ask it to count.
  • These courses will often show with the course number (WR 1AAT/2AAT/3AAT) in the Transfer Equivalency System tool. (Screenshot below).

As always, let the Registrar’s Office know if you have any questions: transfercredits@uoregon.edu

Sincerely,

Bonnie Gutierrez and Courtney Garcia
