As announced last week, the university has expanded its asymptomatic COVID-19 surveillance test screening capacity. Faculty, staff, commuter students, and residential students who will be working, learning or living on campus are expected to participate in the onboarding and weekly surveillance screening program.

Due to this significant testing increase, all program participants — regardless of whether they were part of the testing program in Fall 2020 — must sign up for a regular day and time in advance using the links below and are expected to get tested starting next week or the first week they are on campus.  There are limited testing slots for each day, so please sign up early if you have limited availability.

• Student Sign-up Information
• Faculty & Staff Sign-up Information

All participants are reminded that the surveillance testing program is for asymptomatic university community members only. Any member of the university community who experiences symptoms of COVID-19 or has concerns about possible exposure should not risk infecting others by coming to campus or leaving their rooms.

• Residential and commuter students with symptoms should call at 978-934-COV2 (2682) or Student_SymptomReporting@uml.edu.
• Employees working remotely and non-residential students learning remotely should contact their healthcare provider.
• Employees who are working on campus should contact Human Resources at 978-934-3557 or COVID19HR@uml.edu for information about available support.
