UO EVENTS

FINALS WEEK
  • Discover helpful resources, services, and staff across campus through One Stop.
  • Get academic support. The Tutoring and Academic Engagement Center offers tutoring, peer coaching, and test prep workshops to help you succeed in various courses.
  • Check out UO Libraries for digital materials, study rooms, research support, and more.
  • Here’s a list of some of the best study spots on campus.
  • Five specific criteria must be met before a student can receive an incomplete. Review the criteria and process for requesting an incomplete. Approvals are not automatic; communicate with your instructor until the decision and incomplete contract, if approved, are finalized.
  • Know your finals schedule. Write down final project and exam deadlines to stay organized.
  • Time management is essential. Studying in 20- to 50-minute intervals will help you retain information while avoiding stress. Eat, sleep, and take breaks between studying to improve your overall health and concentration.
  • Counseling Services offers brief, informal consultations throughout the week at Let’s Talk.
WINTER BREAK
  • Live near campus and leaving for the holiday break? Register your residence for free with UOPD’s Vacation Watch program.
  • Get your gear for winter break! The Outdoor Program Rental Barn will have normal hours through Tuesday, Dec. 13, then be closed until Monday, Jan. 9, 2023.
  • Look out for phishing scams over winter break. When your routine is disrupted, take an extra moment to make sure emails, texts, and Duo notifications are legitimate.
NOTEWORTHY
