We all have a role to play in building a safer and healthier community. If you haven’t already received a COVID-19 vaccine, check out information on where to get a vaccine and how to confirm your vaccination status. Oregon State requires vaccinations for students returning to in-person learning and university activities.

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever or new loss of taste, isolate and contact your medical provider. COVID-19 care ambassadors can walk you through available resources if you need to isolate or quarantine; they can help you plan for housing and food, connect you to health services, plus much more. If your learning in a course is disrupted by COVID-related factors, connect with your instructors to communicate what is going on and identify ways to make up course work. For guidance in this process, work with a strategist at the Academic Success Center.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will I provide confirmation of compliance with the COVID-19 vaccine requirement?

Students will be asked to attest to being vaccinated by uploading their COVID-19 vaccine documentation (CDC card) into their patient portal, which is the same process used for other required vaccinations at OSU. Students can access their patient portal on the Student Health Services website.

Students who have lost their COVID vaccination card can call the Student Health Services Immunization office for help 541-737-7573.

If you are seeking an approved medical or non-medical exemption, will need to complete an official document and complete an educational module.

Employees will submit an attestation or declination via the employee portal online.

What should I do about my classes if I get sick?

If you, a dependent or a close family member are ill, you should self-isolate and call your health care provider, Student Health Services or an emergency medical care provider. Please email your instructor as soon as you anticipate that illness will prevent you from attending to a requirement or meeting a deadline. The COVID-19 Care Ambassador program (beav.es/covid-care) can help you plan for coursework if you need to isolate or quarantine due to COVID-19. The Office of the Dean of Students can also assist you if you are navigating a range of extenuating life circumstances, including but not limited to prolonged illness, hospitalization, financial concerns, etc. They can be reached via Zoom chat or audio Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at beav.es/4qQ or by email at [email protected].

What should I do if I am unable to complete a learning activity because I do not have access to the necessary technology?

Look through your Canvas site for any resources or alternatives the instructor has made available. If you are unable to find any, communicate with your instructor and explain the situation. The instructor may be able to provide alternative options for completing the activity if they know the challenge you’re experiencing. If you are unable to resolve the situation with your instructor and would like additional support navigating next steps, contact the Office of Student Advocacy. If you do not have access to a computer or other equipment that you need to complete the activity, connect with the HSRC to fill out the single support form. If you do not have access to software or need technical support, contact the Service Desk.

What if I am unable to get a vaccine before arriving to campus?

All students living in the U.S are eligible for vaccination and should have access across the country. Those who are living outside of the country may also have access. We are planning for OSU’s vaccination program to allow students and employees to obtain the vaccine when they arrive on campus, so they can be in compliance with this program. Here are resources to help locate vaccines: CDC vaccine finder

State of Oregon Vaccine Finder.
