Indicated Testing
Regardless of vaccination status, indicated testing is expected of all students, faculty, and employees who:
- Have symptoms of COVID-19; or
- Have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
Anyone who meets the criteria above should follow the instructions for individuals who have symptoms or were exposed to COVID-19. Testing must be done within a specific time frame to produce reliable results.
As of November 1, the University is no longer distributing or collecting Binx test kits. If you already have a Binx kit, you can follow these instructions to mail it back to the lab directly.
