FAQs for Visitors to Oregon Tech

Updated on June 24, 2020

Face Covering Requirement

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in alignment with the Oregon Governor’s executive orders, and consistent with guidance from the Oregon Health Authority (“OHA”) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), Oregon Tech issued its face covering policy on June 17, 2020. It applies to all Oregon Tech locations and serves the university’s goal to help reduce the risk and spread of COVID-19.

The use of face coverings is a primary public health measure to reduce the spread of infection across the campus. Oregon Tech requires faculty, staff, students, and visitors at all Oregon Tech locations to use face coverings when in enclosed public and common areas and outdoor areas where physical distancing is not easily maintained, unless an exception is granted. Face coverings include masks, cloth face coverings, face shields and worn in combination with other preventative measures, such as physical distancing, proper hand washing, and not coming to campus if unwell. Face coverings are to cover both the nose and mouth, consistent with health authority guidelines.
