  • DO NOT proceed to your testing location if you have any symptoms:
    • Students: If you responded "YES" to any screening question in the Daily Symptom Check Screener, then please login to the Student Health Patient Portal; submit a secure message to "COVID-19 Yes Responder Screening Request"; complete the screening questionnaire and acknowledgements; and then click on "Send". A member of SHC's Clinical team will contact with you within 24 hours with further guidance and instructions.
    • Faculty and staff who indicate symptoms on the Daily Symptom Check should contact the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEH).

  •  Make your appointment online at the Student Health Patient Portal. Select a day/time during the week to which you can commit as the check-in staff will convert this appointment to your weekly RECURRING appointment.
