What You Need to Know

Indoor Face Coverings: The UO is again requiring face coverings to be worn indoors on campus regardless of an individual's vaccination status, due to rising COVID-19 case counts in Oregon and updated public health guidance. UO employees and students can remove their face coverings indoors only when alone in a room or work cubicle, or while eating in an area specified for eating.

Featured FAQ

Will the UO require face coverings on campus in the upcoming academic year?
The university has not yet finalized its face-covering guidelines for fall term. At this time, we have reinstated our indoor face-covering requirement, based on the latest public health guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Oregon Health Authority, and Lane County Public Health. We will continue to be responsive to evolving pandemic conditions, as fall term approaches, and our policy on masks will continue to be based on guidance provided by public health experts.
