Testing exemption: Effective April 26, 2021, students who are fully vaccinated (14 days after their last shot) and who have uploaded their vaccination records are no longer required to participate in the Asymptomatic Testing Program. Students should expect to receive verification of their test exemption from the Contact Tracing and Vaccine Navigation Services team (CTVNS) via secure message thru the Student Health Center patient portal.  The ZotPass will also reflect your exempt status within 24 hours of your verification. Students should continue testing until they receive verification of their testing exemption. Student-athletes may still be required to test regularly based upon their rules and regulations for competition. Student-athletes should check with the UCI Intercollegiate Athletics department for additional guidance on testing.
