COVID-19 Testing Updates New Saliva Test; Finals Week Hours; Holiday Closures
In the Winter, on campus students (taking in-person or hybrid classes) will be required
to be vaccinated. Students with religious and medical exemptions will take tests.
These tests are required every 7 days for those who are on campus. Employees will
continue to follow the vaccination or testing procedure we have been using this Fall.
New Saliva Test Option Available Soon
Based on campus feedback, the college will add a COVID-19 test option that uses saliva
collection as an alternative to the nasal swabs. To use the saliva test kit, individuals must refrain from eating and drinking (even
water) for one hour before their test. Saliva tests will be available beginning Monday, December 6, at tents near the nasal swabbing tests:
- Building 4 Administration (near flag poles)
- Building 67A (east campus)
