Dear Santa Clara University Community, 

Due to the recent closure of the Color Health Lab, the SCU COVID-19 PCR testing program will end this month. The last collection of PCR test samples will be Friday, July 28 at 8:45 a.m.  Test samples should be collected and dropped off at Benson Memorial Center no more than 24 hours before scheduled pick up. If you have any unused Color PCR test kits, please email covid19@scu.edu and we will arrange for pick up.

Rapid antigen tests are available from the Test Forms and More! vending machine on the first floor of the Learning Commons. These rapid antigen tests will be available to SCU students, staff, and faculty only, during the Learning Commons hours of operations. 

• Please note: an active FLEX account is required to use the vending machine.
• If you need access to rapid tests for yourself, for your department, or for an event please email covid19@scu.edu.
• Rapid antigen tests are available at the front desk of JST.
• Information on the FDA’s shelf-life extension of Flowflex brand tests can be found here. 
• Visit Prepared SCU Testing Protocol for more information.

Rapid antigen tests continue to be available for free through most California health insurance plans through November 11, 2023.

Stay safe and well,

SCU COVID-19 Operations Team
