• The Environmental Joint Campus Conference (JCC) has been an annual event that helps bring together graduate students and faculty from three programs: the Environmental Sciences Program at Oregon State University, the Environmental Sciences and Management Program at Portland State University, and the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Oregon. The one-day conference creates an opportunity for graduate students and faculty from each of the three programs to present their diverse research interests to a larger community of environmental scholars The JCC will be hosted by PSU this spring term and the date is TBD. All students are welcome to attend the conference. Corvallis Campus ESGP students are expected to sign up just one time for ENSC 508 for one credit during their tenure as a graduate student and present a poster. We will provide you with details of the one day conference as soon as it is available. Ecampus students are not expected to attend any courses in person.

When or if you have completed the CITI Responsible Conduct for Research certificate to fulfill the ethics requirement, please send a copy of the certificate to esgp@oregonstate.edu (unless you’ve taken GRAD 520 or another ethics course).

If you will not be registering for classes during Fall, Winter or Spring terms, you will need to complete a Leave of Absence form, approved and signed by your major professor and the program director, and submitted to the Graduate School for approval. This will enable you to continue to be a student in good standing. Below is the link for the Leave of Absence form that is located on the Graduate School’s website.
