COVID-19 Dashboard
With an enrollment of more than 29,000 students, part of a campus community of more than 34,000 including faculty and staff, the University of Arkansas will likely experience some transmission of COVID-19 throughout the semester as long as the virus remains in the larger community and world we are a part of.
This report provides an overview of on-campus COVID-19 testing results and positive case information from all available sources. Active case totals include a combination of positive tests confirmed on campus and positive tests confirmed elsewhere that are self-reported to the university. The Arkansas Department of Health, which also provides positive case numbers for schools across the state including the university, has access to testing results reported from across the state but does not differentiate between individuals connected to the university and those who have actually been on campus. Because of this and the reality that some individuals may fail to self-report to the university as required, the positive case numbers provided by the ADH and those included on this dashboard may not always align.

Complete Data Summary
Download a summary of the data compiled to create this dashboard report.Due to the fact that active cases on campus dropped significantly after the first few weeks of the fall 2021 semester and have remained relatively low, the university is currently updating the COVID-19 Dashboard on a weekly basis – on Mondays - with all available data from the previous week (or as soon as all pending cases are resolved from the previous week). The frequency of updates can easily be adjusted if needed due to any potential increases in the number of active cases on campus.
Information gathered for this dashboard report was previously updated three times a week (M-W-F) during the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters as well as the beginning of the fall 2021 semester. Updates occurred once a month during the summer of 2021.
Additional dashboard reports for the county and state are also available.
