What You Need to Know

State Emergency Declaration Ends: On April 1, the state of Oregon and the UO ended their COVID-19 emergency declarations. The UO continues to monitor conditions and maintain the following efforts:

  • COVID-19 vaccine and booster requirements remain in effect. Vaccines continue to be our most effective tool against severe illness from COVID-19.
  • Free COVID-19 testing for asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic individuals is available through UO's Monitoring and Assessment Program (MAP).
  • Required testing continues for individuals who are unvaccinated or exempt from primary doses.
  • Masks are welcome and available on campus. They are required in health care settings.

Everyone is encouraged to take personal preventative precautions to protect themselves from COVID-19.
New Resource: COVID.gov provides an overview of COVID-19 guidance including current COVID-19 community levels, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strategies, and travel guidance.
MAP Updates: Starting in April, symptomatic testing will end at 3:30 p.m. on Fridays unless otherwise noted. The MAP schedule for asymptomatic and symptomatic testing is available on the Coronavirus Resources website and is updated Wednesday for the following week.
The MAP registration system is experiencing a minor technical issue that may affect signing up for an appointment this week. Testing is available. If you are unable to register online, please try again later or come in as a walk-in.
Booster Reporting: After receiving your COVID-19 booster shot, don't forget to update your COVID-19 vaccine information with the UO. To submit your booster shot information:

  • Students: Log in to the MyUOHealth Portal. Visit the "Immunizations" tab. This is the same process used to upload your original vaccination information.
  • Employees: Fill out this online form and upload a copy of your vaccine card. This is the same form used to verify your initial vaccine status.
  • Exemption process: For information on the exemption process visit the student or employee vaccination webpages.

Featured FAQ

A second booster is now available for people over 50. Is a second booster required under the UO's vaccine requirement?
No. At this time the UO vaccine requirement is for a primary series of a COVID-19 vaccine and one booster shot when eligible. We encourage individuals to check with their health care provider for guidance about whether to receive a second booster.
