GET VACCINATED

On March 29, all Ohioans age 16 and older will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. You can check eligibility, locate providers and make an appointment on this State of Ohio website. After you are fully vaccinated, please register your vaccine 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.
Schedule or order your COVID-19 test >
