Walk-up saliva testing is available on campus. For faster service at the testing site, please acknowledge the updated consent on MyHealthSpace before coming. See those instructions and the updated testing schedule on our testing page.
Updated Fall 2021 mitigation measures are on the Current COVID-19 Guidelines page. Because face coverings have been proven effective in mitigating the spread of COVID-19, we encourage everyone on campus to wear one indoors, unless you are in your own residence hall room, private office or you are eating inside campus dining facilities.
University Health Services offers free walk-up vaccine clinics at the Center for Health and Well-Being from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Faculty, staff, students and members of the public are all eligible to receive the vaccine.
- Vaccine appointments on campus can also be made through MyHealthSpace, or you can find a vaccine in the community. The latest about the university's COVID-19 vaccine rollout can be found on our COVID-19 Vaccine Information page.
