What You Need to Know

COVID-19 testing slots are available to all UO employees and students on a first-come, first-served basis on November 9-13. Offered through UO’s Monitoring and Assessment Program (MAP), testing is free. The test is a self-collected, shallow nasal swab, not the more invasive deep nasal swab used in health care settings. Pre-registration is required via the MAP Registration Portal. Additional opportunities will be offered later this fall.

This weekend UO and Oregon State University will join forces to conduct COVID-19 community testing in Eugene to help Lane County Public Health understand the prevalence of the virus in the community.

Featured FAQ

Are masks required on campus?
Yes. Faculty, staff, students, visitors, and vendors are required to wear face coverings indoors and outdoors on campus except when alone in a space.

The UO’s face-covering regulation includes an exemption for individuals who have a physical or mental condition or disability that prevents them from putting on, taking off, or wearing any face covering, among others.

Additional information about use of cloth masks [en Español] is available from the CDC.
