UNIVERSITY UPDATES
Continue to protect yourselves and your community
Thank you for your caution, care and courage as we continue this semester’s journey. Classes are well underway. Our campuses are active, and safely so. Students and faculty and staff members are making outstanding efforts to remain masked, to practice physical distancing and to keep hands and spaces sanitized.
Testing on the Oshkosh campus and other COVID-19 updates
UW Oshkosh is expanding on-campus COVID-19 testing at Albee Hall to increase appointment availability and to ensure a quick turn around on results.
Testing center adds hours; defined: close contact, quarantine
The COVID-19 testing center on the Oshkosh campus has added appointment times; also below you will find important information to help you understand if you are a close contact and what steps to take if you are asked to quarantine.
Welcome back! Take the Titan Safety Training and Titan Safety Promise
It’s hard to believe, but this is likely the last email I will send on our Titans Return plan before classes begin next week.
Supply and distribution of COVID-19 safety products
Since late May, Facilities Management, Planning & Construction and Risk and Safety have been assessing, planning and implementing many of the changes required to create a safer campus environment in light of COVID-19.
