The Math Resource Center also offers a calculus preparation website that can assist you with your studies. For more information, please call the Department of Mathematics at 503.943.7166.

In addition to the Shepard Academic Center, the Career Education Center is an excellent resource to explore major options. Their staff is trained to help you evaluate your academic and potential career interests to begin selecting a major at the University of Portland. The center can also begin working with you as early as your first year to help you find a career or graduate school path that will help you achieve your professional goals. Moreover, they will still be available to you after you graduate - their services are offered free of charge to all alumni. The Career Education Center, on the first floor of Franz Hall, is open Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Classes can be added or dropped during registration periods by using Self Serve. Add/drop changes must be submitted by the end of the first week of classes each semester. This is known as the “Add/Drop” period.
To drop a class after the Add/Drop period, students will need to submit the Withdraw from a Course form in Etrieve. This will result in a “W” on your transcript because you have officially withdrawn from the course.
Please contact your program counselor for any questions about registration processes:
Every professor puts all of their important contact information on the course syllabus, including office location, office hours, phone number, and email address. If you are trying to find a professor that you do not have class with, you can find their email and phone number in the campus directory.
Professors give academic warnings for any number of reasons, including, but not limited to:
These warnings do not mean that you are going to fail the class, but they do mean that you are in danger of failing if you continue to perform in the same academic manner. In any case, make sure you go to visit your professor if you have gotten an academic warning. If you are having problems with the course material or test taking, you should consider seeking out a departmental tutor or other resources. For more information on where to go to get help, contact the Shepard Academic Resource Center at 503.943.7895 or stop by BC 101.
First, you must have an official transcript from the academic institution, AP, or IB sent to the University. Once this is on file, check with your specific school or college to see how the credits transferred in to the University of Portland.
If you are a Bachelor of Arts major in the College of Arts and Sciences or a global business minor, a language is required.
If you entered UP prior to 2021, and you passed four years of the same language class in high school, this requirement is waived. You need to make sure that UP has an official copy of your final high school transcript to have this waived.
If you entered UP in the 2021-2022 academic year or later, the language requirement cannot be waived.
If you do not pass the semester with a 2.00 grade point average (GPA), you are put on academic probation for the next semester; if you are on probation for two semesters in a row, you can be dismissed from the University entirely. If your grades improve to the 2.00 level by the next semester, then the probation will be lifted.
