The Daily Bruin

The Oregon Health Authority has downgraded Yamhill County to a moderate risk level. This has allowed Campus Recreation to increase capacities and group exercise classes in the Hadlock Student Center.

Reservations are still required to use the facility and to attend group exercise classes. Patrons are asked to continue to exercise caution by wearing a well-fitting mask over the nose and mouth, giving other people space while exercising and moving about the facility, and wiping down equipment after use.

To reserve areas to use in Hadlock, please click here. To register for group exercise classes, click here.

Please note that Sunday, March 28, is the last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for the class.

Withdrawing from a class:

This means that if you withdraw from a class you will receive a “W” on your transcript. If you don’t withdraw now and ultimately don’t pass a course, your GPA will be affected in a negative way.

If your professor has not provided you with a mid-term grade, please contact them immediately to find out what your status is in that course.

Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

CAP Coaches:

Students with a “D” or “F” on their midterms should make an appointment with their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the ramifications of withdrawing from a class. 

Students withdrawing from a class should contact their CAP coach as well to discuss their class schedule for future semesters.

Click here to contact your CAP Coach.

Recently some non-students were attempting to interview students with a microphone taped to a sex toy. These individuals were caught. We do not condone such behavior and always investigate to the best of our abilities to prevent or stop inappropriate activities on campus.

While there are many things in the world that are concerning, we want you to know you do not have to go through it alone. When harassment, bullying, bias-crimes, assault, sexual violence, theft of property, or other issues occur, we want you to know that Campus Public Safety is only a phone call away.

In an ongoing effort to ensure our community is a safe place to both learn and work together, your Campus Public Safety Department wants to remind you of some resources, such as Fox’s anti-harassment policy and personal safety guidelines, should you ever feel unsafe on our campus.

As always, we have officers on duty 24/7. Call immediately at 503-554-2090 should you ever feel unsafe or witness a crime.
