Get Tested

We encourage you to get tested: 

• Before leaving campus for spring break,
• 3-5 days after traveling,
• 3-5 days after being exposed to someone who has tested positive,
• If you are experiencing ANY symptoms, even if you think it is just a cold or allergies.

If you test positive, report your positive result. We will reach out to provide support, help you work out an isolation plan, and help work with professors. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at covid19@scu.edu. 

Good luck with your final exams and projects! We hope you are looking forward to a well-deserved break. 

Stay safe and well,
