Welcome, Parents and Families!
The Parent and Family Programs office is here to support you as you support your student. Research indicates that family involvement contributes to student success, and students benefit when their family supports and appropriately shares in their university experience. We believe in partnering with you to support your student.
We consider you a part of the Duck family and there are a number of ways you can get involved, stay informed, and help your student navigate college life at the University of Oregon. Whatever your needs or interests are, we hope you find what you are looking for here, but if you don't, please feel free to reach out and ask us.
Stay Informed with the UO Family Portal
The University of Oregon Family Portal is your gateway to seamless communication and support. By signing up for our portal you will receive newsletters and information curated just for family members of UO students.
Stay informed about important deadlines and campus events, and discover opportunities to engage with other families through networking opportunities. With the UO Family Portal, you will have the tools and resources you need to stay connected, informed, and involved in your student’s college experience.
You're Part of Our Community
The Parent and Family Association connects you with other members of the Duck family and provides you with resources that help support your student’s success. Every parent/family supporter of an enrolled undergraduate student at the University of Oregon is automatically enrolled as a general member of the Parent and Family Association.
You can also elect to join the Evergreen level of membership for a one-time fee. The Evergreen “lifetime membership” includes special benefits and lasts as long as your student attends the university, as well as any of their siblings who also decide to become Ducks.
Ask a Parent
We have wonderful parent volunteers willing to talk with you about any questions you may have about the UO. Through our regional representatives, we connect you with Duck parents near you, to build a network of support through the shared experience of being a part of the UO community.
Get Help
