Campus COVID Plan and Guidelines

There are plenty of reasons to get vaccinated

This fall, we are providing students with a lot more

The Cowboy family is strongly encouraged to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Through the Poke-a-thon campaign, OSU is offering fully vaccinated students incentives to get vaccinated for COVID-19, including football tickets, iPads, free parking, bursar scholarships totaling over $10,000 and more! See official terms and conditions.

All you have to do to enter is provide proof of full vaccination to OSU University Health Services (UHS). Students who have been fully vaccinated through UHS will be automatically entered in the contest.

COVID-19 testing

Oklahoma State University is offering two C0VID-19 test options for students and employees at University Health Services (UHS) on the main Stillwater campus. BinaxNOW antigen testing is done through the drive-thru located on the east side of the building. These are rapid tests that are administered as a nasal swab. Oral swab tests, which are less invasive than nasal swab tests, can be administered inside the clinic.

To make an appointment, patients should call 405-744-7665 or login to their Patient Portal to schedule an appointment by 5 p.m. the day before they wish to be scheduled, making sure to note they are requesting testing on the Stillwater campus.

Mask guidelines

OSU expects the use of masks indoors in public. This includes classrooms, laboratories and all indoor meetings and gatherings. Masks reduce the risk of being infected with the Delta variant and possibly spreading it to others. Masking is recommended by the CDC even if you are fully vaccinated.

Campus COVID plan

Protecting the health and wellbeing of our fellow Cowboys in the face of COVID-19 has never been more critical. We urge everyone to take personal responsibility in following recommended guidelines, as only through a collective, cooperative effort can we help protect our campus community.
