OA's Updated Health and Safety Measures as of February 9, 2022
Following our established health and safety policy whereby our local data will guide our protocols, beginning Friday, February 11, OA will return to mask optional for all on campus students, staff and visitors. We are more than 2 weeks without a new positive case and no students are quarantined. Please remember that should these statistics change, we will consider a return to masks requirement. Please continue to stay home if you are ill, get tested if symptoms warrant to reduce the risk of spreading to others, and get vaccinated.
