There are two primary types of COVID-19 tests available to students, faculty and staff at the university. See which one best fits your situation. You can also check out other off-campus testing opportunities.
Without Symptoms
The Saliva Assay Free Expedited (SAFE) test is free, quick and noninvasive, and results can typically be shared within 24 hours after the saliva sample is collected. SAFE testing is only available to current students, faculty, and staff. It should only be used by individuals that are not experiencing COVID-19 symptoms like fever, cough or shortness of breath.

With Symptoms: COVID-19 Diagnostic Nasal Swab Testing
It is very important that any student, faculty or staff member that develops symptoms of COVID-19, like fever, cough or shortness of breath, make a telemedicine appointment to be evaluated by a provider. If needed, an appointment for a test will be scheduled. The cost for the test will be billed to your health insurance.
