Additional Important Info for Incoming Undergraduate Music Majors

UO Email - Official Communications Channel

At the UO, e-mail is the official form of communication between the department, faculty, staff, and students. It is therefore mandatory that all UO students use the UO email account that they have been provided.  Because your UO e-mail will become your primary student contact while you are at the UO, please check it frequently.  For information about managing your UO e-mail account, see the Duck ID self-service page at https://duckid.uoregon.edu.

Practice Room Reservations

Practice Room reservations take place at the beginning of each academic term. Undergraduate students may sign up for a practice room schedule for Fall Term beginning Week 1 through Week 2. Students can sign up for 10 hours per week, no more than 2 hours per day. Priority will go to Seniors & Juniors giving a recital this academic year, then other music majors (not giving recitals this academic year), then music minors, and finally other UO students who are enrolled in a Music ensemble or MUP lessons. Non-Music UO students must list eligible MUS/MUP classes on the online form. 

Getting Situated at the School

Information about other important topics (such as lockers, music student ID cards, proximity and classroom access, computers, and printers) is provided on the Admitted Students page.

Course materials and books can be picked up at The Duck Store (895 East 13th Avenue, Eugene, OR 97401) but books must be ordered online through The Duck Store: http://www.uoduckstore.com/books .  For more information, visit the Duck Store's COVID response page.
