UO faculty, students, and staff are required to submit verification of vaccine status or request an exemption from the vaccine mandate. The deadlines to submit vaccination status or request an exemption are:

• School of Law JD and LLM students – August 13
• Residence hall students – upon move-in and no later than September 14
• All other students – September 27

Students use myUOHealth to record their vaccine(s) or request an exemption. To encourage early participation, any student who completes the vaccination requirement process by September 1 will be entered to win $50 Duck Bucks prizes.

More information about the vaccine reporting process and exemptions can be found on the UO Coronavirus website.

University of Oregon students and employees are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to the start of the fall academic term. This public health measure at the UO will help protect our community by reducing the potential for serious illness, hospitalization, or death. It also will limit campus disruptions and allow us to resume in-person instruction and activities.

Vaccines are available through county public health agencies, pharmacies, and health care providers. Those living in Lane County can go to a Lane County Public Health clinic.While UO has hosted vaccine clinics in previous terms, future clinics are not guaranteed, and UO community members are encouraged to seek vaccines through these other channels.

More information about the vaccine requirement can be found on the UO Coronavirus website.
