COVID-19 Testing
REQUIREMENTS:
Due to the current testing shortage, both regionally and nationally, please continue to be good stewards of our testing supplies by testing only if you:
- Are symptomatic
- Had exposure (please wait five days after exposure to test and do not test early unless you develop symptoms)
- Need a test for travel
- Need to test for internships, practicums, or clinicals to adhere to the off-campus organization's site specific guidelines.
- Additionally, athletics also has testing and vaccine guidelines that they must adhere to as part of the NCAA guidance.
Weekly testing for non-vaccinated individuals is no longer required.
