Testing Timelines

All individuals (undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and affiliates) who are up to date with vaccinations and boosters will move to once-monthly testing. You are asked to submit your samples during the week assigned to your last name (listed below). 

For those that are up to date on vaccines and boosters, you can continue to test up to once weekly, if you choose. Only those who have received guidance from Global and Community Health to submit additional tests should submit more than one test per week.

Guidance for undergraduates around testing is below. 

Those individuals who are officially exempt from vaccination or who are eligible for boosters but have not yet received them are required to test once weekly. 

July 2022 

• Our testing weeks run from Sunday morning through Friday morning. To avoid delays in receiving test results, faculty and staff are encouraged to submit their tests early in the week (Monday, Tuesday) and undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to submit their tests later in the week (Wednesday, Thursday). 
  • If you are on campus Sunday through Thursday, submit on one of those days, and not on Fridays.

Where and when to drop off your sample

The daily deadline for dropping off your saliva sample to a drop box is 10:00 a.m., Monday through Friday. Samples dropped off on Sunday will be picked up Monday. Samples submitted after 10:00 a.m. will not be picked up and taken to the Lab on the same day. 

If you miss the 10:00 a.m. drop box deadline on Friday, you can bring your sample in person to the testing clinic until 11:45 a.m. However, if you drop a sample after 11:45am on Friday, even in person at the testing clinic, it will not be processed until the following Monday. 

**Starting June 1st and moving forward during the summer months, samples will be picked up much earlier in the day (as early as 7am).**
