UMass Lowell has finalized its plans for surveillance testing for students and employees with a vaccination exemption who reside or work on campus during the winter break as well as for the spring semester.

Winter Break Surveillance Testing
During winter break, all testing will be scheduled on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in GPS Center Room 100 located at 839 Merrimack St. next to University Crossing. Parking will be available in GPS Center visitor parking spaces.

Winter break testing will begin the week of Dec. 20, be closed the week of Dec. 27 and resume the week of Jan. 4.

Spring Semester Surveillance Testing
Spring surveillance testing for students and employees will be scheduled Monday through noon on Thursday beginning the week of Jan. 17 and will be located in GPS Center Room 100.

Scheduled tests for university community members determined to have significant interactions with a confirmed positive case will continue to be held in the GPS Center Room 100.

As it has throughout the pandemic, UMass Lowell will continue to review and incorporate state and federal public health guidance into its COVID-19 response. A recent university announcement provided reminders about ways to reduce risk, evaluate symptoms and which actions to take should you test positive.
