Thank You for Your Service

The University of Oregon is committed to providing all of our student veterans and their families with the highest level of support and dedication. Our campus offers a variety of resources to assist you during your time at the UO. Professional staff in the Office of the Dean of Students can help you navigate campus and connect you with these important services.

Enroll at the University of Oregon

The UO welcomes students who have served our country in the armed forces. The Office of Admissions and the UO Office of Veterans Affairs assist veterans in making a seamless transition from military service to the campus community. Our mission is to make sure that all eligible student veterans, reservists, and dependents obtain educational benefits in compliance with the procedures and regulations of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
