Services + Support

Textbook Subsidy
UO Basic Needs is accepting applications for textbook subsidy funds up to $150. Applications will be accepted until the end of Week 3 or until funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. Students must be enrolled at least part time. Visit their website for more information or click here to apply now.

Accessible Education Center
Disability is an important part of our campus diversity. However, not all environments or classes are designed to include all learners and abilities. The Accessible Education Center (AEC) is available to support students with disabilities in determining the most effective strategies and accommodations to ensure access.

Students are welcome to connect with AEC at any point during their time at UO. No previous educational accommodations or diagnoses are required to receive services. AEC is located in Oregon Hall 360 and can be reached at 541-346-1155 or uoaec@uoregon.edu. To schedule an appointment with an AEC access advisor, complete this online scheduling form.

Looking for faculty who conduct research on diversity, equity, and inclusion? Searching for just the right committee member? Here is a database of faculty members and their research areas to help you find the best fit for your academic goals.

Alumni Spotlight

“You are more skilled and talented than you know! Put yourself out there and seek out new work that intimidates you. This is how you grow. Seek out professional networks and connections. Always try to connect with folks who intimidate you - this is where you can see a path toward career growth.”

This advice comes from Alison Cerezo, who earned a PhD in Counseling Psychology from UO in 2009. Late last year, Alison was appointed to lead a $17.5 million LBTQ Health Equity Initiative at UC Santa Barbara.
