DAILY CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: Latest news and campus announcement

Here is the current information related to university operations and programs. The latest information is available on the UO Coronavirus webpage and FAQ page.

NEW:
  • President Schill sent a message to students in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month coming to a close. The email included resources for students through the University Counseling Center and other campus offices that are available even while the university is operating remotely.
REMINDERS:
  • The University of Oregon is introducing a voluntary summer work share program that lets employees work less from June 14 to August 14, with their pay adjusted accordingly, while health insurance and leave accruals continue without change. Employees would recoup their UO pay with unemployment benefits, including the additional $600 per week in federal stimulus benefits that are available through July 25. The program enables the university to reduce some expenses to offset impacts on revenue during this period of financial uncertainty.
  • Find information about the UO’s return to campus, including plans for the possible return to in-person instruction for fall term 2020 and resumption of some on-campus activities.
  • The fall class schedule and priority registration information for students will be available on June 1. Students received an email providing details about when they can register for fall term and encouraging them to contact their academic advisors.
