Is your ideal workout walking the bike path (opens in a new window) to check out the cherry blossoms, group fitness classes (opens in a new window), or swimming a few laps at the Aquatic Center (opens in a new window)? Whatever healthy looks like to you, Campus Recreation (opens in a new window) is here to help you reach your goals.

GET VACCINATED

On March 29, all Ohioans age 16 and older will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. You can check eligibility (opens in a new window), locate providers and make an appointment on this State of Ohio website. After you are fully vaccinated, please register your vaccine (opens in a new window) so that we can track our progress toward herd immunity on our campuses and work toward resuming normal operations.

Be Safe Bobcats
Regular COVID-19 Testing is Required
Any student who visits campus is required to participate in asymptomatic COVID-19 testing. On the Athens campus, residential students are required to schedule a test each week, and off-campus students are required to schedule a test every other week. Regional and extension campus students must order and complete an at-home test every other week. Consequences of noncompliance include restriction of access to campus facilities and referral to the conduct office.
