COVID-19 Testing Site Reduce Weekend Hours

Effective this weekend, the University is reducing the weekend hours at its COVID-19 testing centers. The modified hours will be in effect through Sunday, July 18; normal hours resume Monday, July 19.
 
The modifications are as follows:
  • Saturdays
  • BUMC – open 7 a.m. to 1 p.m
  • Kilachand – open 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
  • Agannis, 808, and Annex – open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Sundays – All testing sites will be closed

Please take these reduced hours into account when scheduling your required COVID-19 tests; if you normally test on the weekend, you may need to change your regular testing day in order to maintain compliance.


In an effort to prevent phishing attacks, security breaches and ransomware, BUMC IT is rolling out Duo for Office 365 across the Medical Campus, department by department. Enabling Duo for Office 365 secures our email with the same security software already used for BUWorks and Healthway.
