HEALTH AND SAFETY

 

COVID-19 VACCINATION REQUIREMENT

OSU requires COVID-19 vaccinations for students and employees who learn, work or engage with others in-person during classes or university activities on campus. Students can comply with this policy by confirming their vaccination status through the patient portal, or complete a declination process. Learn the latest on vaccination and booster requirements for employees, and how to upload proof of up-to-date compliance.

Vaccination Info

 

FACE COVERINGS AND PHYSICAL DISTANCING

OSU requires face coverings in all public indoor settings on campuses and other locations. The policy will be reviewed weekly and any adjustments will be communicated through the COVID-19 Safety & Success website. This follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Oregon Health Authority’s recommendations that both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated people wear a face covering in public indoor settings in response to the spread of COVID-19.

Free N95 Masks

N95 masks are available at no charge to OSU-Cascades faculty, staff and students at the following locations during weekday business hours, except where noted:

  • Enrollment Services, Tykeson Hall, Rm. 106A
  • Entry lobby, Graduate & Research Center
  • Vice President’s suite, Ray Hall, Rm. 203-4
  • COVID-19 Testing Site (see current hours and location)
     

OSU follows a general COVID-19 Safety and Success Policy which provides guidance on COVID-19 risk reduction requirements and recommendations, including the use of face coverings. The policy also includes provisions regarding positive COVID-19 case notification, isolation and quarantine procedures, and expectations for ongoing participation in contact tracing.

 

POSITIVE CASE COMMUNICATION

OSU-Cascades is requesting that all faculty, staff, and students voluntarily notify the university of a positive COVID-19 diagnosis via an email to covid-19@osucascades.edu. This notification will ensure appropriate support and resources are provided to those who have been exposed or tested positive. This information will only be utilized for the specific purposes of providing support, resources and fulfilling the university’s requirement to assist local public health authorities by reporting positive cases within our community. This confidential information will be protected to the fullest extent allowed by state and federal law and only disclosed for the purposes described above.
