This dashboard provides the Odessa College community with timely data regarding COVID-19 on our campus and at our extension centers in Andrews, Pecos and Monahans. The data is self-reported per our COVID-19 protocols and includes students, employees and visitors who have presented with a lab-confirmed, positive COVID-19 test. Odessa College does not provide campus-based testing. Online students who do not attend class on campus, and who have not been on campus within 14 days of a lab-confirmed, positive COVID-19 test are not included in the campus data.
If a student, employee or visitor has tested positive AND has been on campus or in a OC center or clinical setting in the 14 days prior to testing, the college will notify their peers and/or faculty regarding possible exposure via a timely warning. Privacy is our priority, and names will not be shared in the process.
Odessa College continues to follow the CDC guidelines to mitigate the spread and unpredictability of the COVID-19 virus. The college’s screening and sanitization protocols significantly reduce exposure to the virus in learning and student support spaces. Campus and community resources are available to students impacted by COVID-19 including a food pantry, a licensed professional counselor and mental health resources, as well as emergency aid.
