In order to support the health and safety of the residential community, all residential students are required to be retested for COVID-19 on one of the following dates: September 8, 9, or 10.

How to register for an on-campus test

On-campus walk-through testing will be available by appointment at The Commons/Erickson Field tent for residential students. Please select a testing timeby September 4 at noon. If you plan to leave campus for the Labor Day weekend, please choose the September 10 testing date. Also, we have extended testing hours on September 9 until 6 p.m. to accommodate those who are unable to come earlier due to work or class commitments. Please do not sign up for these later slots if you do not require them. Failure to be tested during the on-campus testing September 8 – 10 will lead to a review for an immediate interim health and safety administrative removal from on-campus housing.

What to bring to the test

Please bring acompleted Consent Form and Test Requisition Formto your scheduled test. Students who do not have access to a printer can pick up forms at their residence hall front desk or at the apartments’ Community Center.
