Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs
Dear OSU students,
As we settle into fall term, I write to share a few updates with you.
COVID-19
Important COVID-19 Safety Policy Updates
Dear OSU Students,
I am writing to provide attention to important updates to OSU’s COVID-19 safety policies.
Statewide mandates on gatherings and social get togethers have also been updated by the governor and OSU has updated its policy to align and supplement these requirements.
Preparing for your learning - technology requirements and resources
As you get ready fall term, we want to be sure that you are technologically prepared for your class requirements.
Face coverings and physical distancing
Dear Students,
As you prepare to return to campus, make sure to pack your masks or face coverings. OSU has a face coverings policy for common indoor spaces and outdoor spaces where physical distancing is not possible. OSU also has a physical distancing policy to contribute to the safety of the university. Make sure to keep 6 feet between others to help support a safer and healthier community.
Help build a safer and healthier community
Dear OSU students,
We are finalizing our plans for delivering an engaging university experience for fall term. Even while this fall will be different due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you will benefit from exceptional instruction and world-class faculty. You also will have the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research while interacting with fellow students no matter where you choose to live and learn. We will meet you where you are to achieve your academic goals.
As fall term opens, we must all contribute to safety
OSU students,
The start of fall term within Oregon State University is just around the corner.
Staying informed, staying healthy
Dear Students,
A healthier and safer OSU depends on you. And OSU has guidance and resources to help inform you about staying healthy. Bookmark the COVID-19 Safety & Success for Students site, where you can find comprehensive information and a list of resources for fall term.
