Surveillance Testing Continues

Surveillance testing continues this week. Each week, we encourage you to sign up for an on-campus appointment. There are 10 time slots available from which to choose. Register anytime for tests on Tuesdays or Thursdays now through March 11. Appointments are available next week on Tuesday, January 26 and Thursday, January 28 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m..
