Campus testing sites are available to students and employees for both asymptomatic and symptomatic testing. The test sites operate using infection control standards for testing locations. We ask that all people using the test sites follow directional signage and instructions from test site staff.  Remain masked at all times while at the test site, including in line waiting for testing, and only remove your mask when instructed to do so by test site staff for specimen collection.
