Safety and success priorities for fall term

As we prepare to launch the 2020-21 school year, Oregon State has developed a comprehensive plan (PDF) to limit on-site teaching on its campuses in Corvallis and Bend in fall term and enable research and service activities to take place while seeking to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We are committed to providing courses and programs that meet you where you are and support you in making progress toward your academic and personal goals. If you feel safest taking courses online at home, we are there for you. If you choose to live and pursue your studies on campus, you are welcome at OSU. Our operations will look and feel different, but together we can build a safer educational experience for everyone in Beaver Nation.

OSU Operations Level

The university works with local communities and public health systems to respond to the risk and spread of COVID-19 at all of its locations throughout Oregon. See the response levels below and a guide to operation details and risk levels (PDF). Watch an overview of the condition levels tool.
