Dear Students, Families, Faculty and Staff:
The fall semester is off to a successful start and we’re happy to have everyone on campus. As we continue to monitor the situation daily, testing remains a key component of our campus health strategy. Please be aware of changes and updates to the COVID Testing Center location and hours.
Testing will continue to be conducted for ESF by Syracuse University. This week, the Testing Center transitioned from its summer location at Kimmel Dining Hall back to the Syracuse University stadium. Testing will be offered at Kimmel on Sundays only. In observance of the Labor Day holiday, the Stadium Testing Center will be closed on Monday, Sept. 6. and resume its scheduled hours on Tuesday, Sept. 7, at 10 a.m. For the most current hours and locations for SU’s on-campus testing, please visit the SU Stay Safe website.
No appointments are required for testing. Please bring your I.D. and refrain from eating, drinking anything (including water), brushing your teeth or using mouthwash, chewing gum or using any tobacco products in the 30 minutes prior to testing.
Important: If you are experiencing COVID-like symptoms, do not come to the Testing Center.
Students who believe they may have been exposed or who are experiencing COVID-like symptoms should stay home and call the Barnes Center at 315.443.8000 to arrange testing. Faculty and staff experiencing COVID-like symptoms should stay home and call their primary care provider.
Please refer to ESF’s Fall 2021 – Public Health Guidance Document for campus testing requirements. You can access the document here.
The ESF Restart website (www.esf.edu/restart) will continue to be the hub for the most up-to-date COVID-related information.
Thank you for your continued attention and commitment to our community’s health. Wishing you a safe, happy and healthy Labor Day weekend.
The Office of Communications and Marketing
