SOU Policies
Read SOU’s COVID-19 guidelines and SOU’s COVID-19 vaccine requirement policy for full information.
SOU classes have returned to a primarily in-person format. To protect the health and safety of our campus and the communities we serve, the university requires students, faculty and staff who will be on campus to be fully vaccinated. We expect this to include COVID-19 boosters as recommended by the CDC. Mask recommendations may vary, based on current risk levels in southern Oregon. Those who feel more comfortable wearing masks are encouraged to do so in any setting.
Submit your COVID-19 vaccine records or request an exemption through MyHealth Portal. SOU requires students to do one of the following:
- Attest that you are fully vaccinated.
- File for an exemption to the vaccination requirement, based on a medical or non-medical reason.
- Attest that you have received your initial series of COVID vaccines and are requesting an exemption from the booster.
Students who opt for either a non-medical exemption or deferral will be encouraged to watch a short educational module. SOU employees, volunteers and others affiliated with the university will have the same vaccination requirements and exemption options.
Interested in getting vaccinated or boosted? Call the SHWC at 541.552.6136 to schedule.
