Important: Required COVID-19 Testing over Winter Break, J-Term

Dear Winter and J-Term Approved Students,

With the number of cases in our country increasing, the College has decided to require weekly COVID-19 testing for all students residing on campus during the winter break and J-term. 

As a reminder, students may not travel off-campus until December 16th at the earliest. If you depart campus and miss the weekly scheduled test, you are required to participate in the very next test. Anyone who plans to travel off-campus overnight must inform the Office of Student Engagement before leaving. Any student who leaves campus overnight may be required to quarantine upon returning to campus. 

Please note: there will be NO opportunity for make-up testing and missing a weekly test may result in revocation of your on-campus residential status.

No appointment is required. The testing schedule is outlined below:
