Thu, 12/18/25 : Annual Notification of Alcohol and Other Drug Information

From: Transportation Services

Dear Oregon State University Community, 

Transportation Services and ASOSU are excited to share a one-year update about the Bike and Scooter Share Pilot operated by Veo, including changes to ASOSU’s role moving forward. 

Background 
Student leaders in the 23-24 ASOSU Administration initiated this action from OSU’s Sustainable Transportation Strategy which brought shared bikes and electric scooters to the Corvallis campus beginning in August 2024. OSU contracted with Veo to operate a year-long pilot with options to extend the contract in two six-month increments. During the first year, over 12,500 students, employees, and visitors downloaded the Veo app to take 180,025 trips, tallying 244,509 miles.      

One Year Evaluation 
The Bike and Scooter Share Pilot provided the university with a year to experience shared micromobility on the Corvallis campus and to adjust and learn along the way. Since August 2024 the Pilot project team, consisting of ASOSU representatives and Transportation Services staff, has worked with Veo to adjust parking and riding areas, to plan for large event needs and to promote safety and access. Transportation Services solicited feedback and insight through the campus-wide 2024 Transportation Survey, from quarterly meetings with the Micromobility Advisory Group, and through one-on-one interviews with department representatives from across campus. Along the way, we have collected data about ridership, parking, safety, and perceptions of the service.   

The ridership during the Pilot demonstrates that there is a robust demand for shared bikes and scooters at OSU. The shared electric scooters in particular have seen high ridership, with each vehicle ridden an average of 1.6 times per day during the first year. Survey data suggests that at least a portion of these trips may be replacing car trips. Over 74 percent of respondents in Veo’s rider survey reported that they were able to reduce car travel because of their access to shared bikes and scooters.   

The evaluation summary is available on Transportation Services’ website.  

Next Steps  

Based on the results of the Pilot program, Transportation Services is prepared to lead a formal solicitation for a long-term shared micromobility operator for the Corvallis campus. A second six-month extension of Veo’s contract after January 2026 will maintain continuous service during the selection process.  

As the program transitions into a long-term operational phase, ASOSU will be stepping back from direct project leadership. While ASOSU’s role will shift primarily to an advisory capacity, ASOSU remains committed to amplifying student feedback and advocating for continued improvements to transportation access and safety on campus. 

The project team wishes to thank all the students and employees who have given their time and insight to help shape the future of shared micromobility for the Corvallis campus. 

More information about the Pilot is available on the Bike and Scooter Share program page.  

You can report an improperly parked vehicle or an overfilled bike rack to Veo at [email protected]. Please send other questions or comments to [email protected]

Dear OSU Cascades Students, 

As we approach the end of the fall term, I am writing to reaffirm OSU’s commitment to mental well-being and student success. We have a wide variety of resources on campus to help prevent distress before it occurs and provide support when you need it.  Below are some options for support and additional information that I hope you find helpful.

While not a direct mental health counseling service, OSU-Cascades' Student Care program is a dedicated resource to help students experiencing extenuating circumstances through resource referrals, coordinating care and helping navigate university resources. Some other campus resources that might be useful include:

We wish you a successful end to fall term and a restful winter break!

Dear OSU Community,

As part of our ongoing commitment to cybersecurity, OSU is updating its password management policy to reduce routine password changes while maintaining strong protections for our community. 

Why the Change? 

Modern security best practices emphasize multifactor authentication (Duo) as the primary safeguard. Research shows frequent password changes do not significantly improve security and can create unnecessary inconvenience without significantly improving security. 

What’s Changing? 

  • ONID Accounts: 
  • Scheduled password changes will no longer be required every 6 months.   
  • You will be required to change your password only if there are signs your account may have been compromised (for example, suspicious activity or a security alert). 
  • Administrative or High-Privilege Accounts: 
  • Regular password changes are still required to protect critical OSU systems and data. 

What Does This Mean for You? 

For most OSU community members, password changes will be rare and only necessary when there’s a reason to believe your account security is at risk. Duo multifactor authentication will continue to provide protection for your account. Learn more about Duo

Keep Your Account Secure 
It’s important to create a strong password or passphrase. Here are a few tips: 

  • Use a passphrase of unrelated words (e.g., RiverOrangeMountainSky). 
  • Include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
  • Avoid personal information like birthdays or names. 
  • Do not reuse passwords across multiple accounts. 

View OSU password requirements 

If you have questions, concerns, or experience issues with OSU Login, please contact the Service Desk at https://beav.es/help or call 541-737-8787

Please note: Security improvements will continue as we strengthen OSU’s defenses against evolving cyber threats. We appreciate your support and commitment to keeping our community safe. 

Respectfully,

David

Supporting the mental well-being of employees is a university priority. Lyra Health, our mental health benefit for OSU employees and their dependents, provides free confidential therapy, coaching, and mental health and emotional support services. There is an OSU specific Lyra webinar scheduled for employees on December 2, 2025 at 12 noon related to Low Mood and Depression.

Hey Beavers!

With Halloween approaching, we are reaching out to provide some helpful information and resources. While we are aware that events will be happening off campus, we also want to ensure that you are aware of the free Halloween activities being held across campus.

Whether you’re heading to a costume party, attending one of the free campus events, or just watching scary movies with friends, our goal is to provide you with tips that will help you celebrate Halloween in a safe way that protects you and your peers from harm. As members of our Beaver community, we share a responsibility to look out for one another. We each play a role in creating an environment that is safe and free of sexual assault and other forms of violence. Learn about OSU’s Halloween activities and find resources on how to be safe and get support.   

As an Oregon State University student, you are responsible for your behavior on and off campus. Please make sure you are familiar with the OSU Code of Student Conduct to avoid any potential university sanctions. We also expect students to act in a manner that is consistent with local, state, and federal laws.

We recognize that Halloween creates opportunities for students to have fun; yet our actions and behavior should remain consistent with our values. Let’s look out for each other’s well-being, respect one another, act when we see something wrong, and know when to call for help. We hope each member of our community will have a memorable and safe Halloween.

Go Beavs!

Dear OSU Students,

I write to remind you of important protections of your education records that are required by university policy, as well as federal and state laws.

In compliance with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, state law, and OSU policy, students have certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:

  1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the university receives a request for access. Students should submit written requests to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The university official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the university official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom a request should be addressed.
  1. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education record that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Students should write the university official responsible for the record; clearly identify the part of the record they want changed; and specify why the record is inaccurate or misleading. If the university decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the university will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
  1. The right to consent to disclosures of the personally identifiable information contained in the student’s educational record, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the university in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including health staff and members of the university’s law enforcement department); a person or company with whom the university has contracted; a person or company acting as consultant or volunteer for the university; a person serving on the university’s Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee. A university official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill their professional responsibility.

4.   The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Oregon State University to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

The name and contact information of the office that administers FERPA is:

Student Privacy Policy Office
U.S. Department of Education

Mon, 10/6/25 : [Cascades] Fall Dining Update – New Hours, Fresh Options & More!

From: Student Health Services

Dear students,

Whether you are a new or returning student, our Student Health Services team wants to make sure you are aware of the important resources available to you on the Corvallis campus. Our Health Center, located at 850 SW 26th St., offers primary care and a variety of clinical services, plus we offer rapid care services in Tebeau Hall. Visit studenthealth.oregonstate.edu for information.

This year, we are making some improvements to make care more cost effective for many students, as we begin billing most major health insurance companies as an in-network provider for office visits and other medical services. Insurance benefits may be applied to laboratory tests, office procedures and other medical services resulting in an anticipated reduction in overall financial costs. Please visit beav.es/insurance for an update on in-network insurers; this web page will be updated as contracts are finalized.

Students should add their health insurance information to the patient portal at myhealth.oregonstate.edu. All students are strongly encouraged to have some form of health insurance. OSU Student Health offers an affordable health insurance plan, plus students without insurance may be eligible for the Oregon Health Plan.

Regardless of health insurance coverage, students will continue to have access to free birth control. Most domestic students are eligible for the Oregon ContraceptiveCare program (CCare), and all students can access free barrier methods of birth control. Visit beav.es/ccare for details.

Further, the student health fee will continue to cover services that are not billable (for example, standard nurse office visits, counseling, and all health promotion and education programming).

If you have questions regarding these changes, you may contact our student health insurance team at [email protected].

Thank you,
OSU Student Health Insurance Team
