Next week, during normal business hours, please keep an eye out for vandalism, graffiti, or other things that seem out of place and report that as soon as possible to UOPD: 541-346-2919.
  • Building schedules may be changed for campus safety and security. Some are closing early and/or limiting access. If you choose to do so, notify uoem@uoregon.edu of your plans.
  • Should there be a large change to campus operations, class schedules, or other unforeseen event, we will notify the university community via the emergency notification system and through UO Alerts. This information may come as a text message in a true emergency, or email for general notification.
