Testing Information
Testing is very important to help reduce the spread of COVID-19

Other sites for testing may be available through your healthcare provider.

COVID-19 Self-Reporting Protocol
Currently it is not required to self-report a positive diagnosis or exposure on campus.
If you are sick, please do not come to campus.
If you are positive or exposed to COVID-19, you can use the CDC Isolation and Exposure Calculator to help determine how long to isolate.
If you are sick, but unsure if you are positive for COVID-19, please seek a test as soon as possible.
Treatments Available for Individuals Sick With COVID-19
If you test positive or think you might have COVID-19, you may be able to get treatment to help you recover. Treatment works best if it’s taken within a few days of when you first started experiencing symptoms.
Notifying Close Contacts After Testing Positive
If you’ve tested positive for COVID-19 you should notify your close contacts of an exposure.
A close contact is someone who was less than 6 feet from you for more than 15 minutes or more in the 2 days leading up to feeling sick.
Visit the CDC website for more information.
