Testing Requirements for Undergraduate Commuters

February 25, 2021
Submitted By: Office of Marketing and Communication

As COVID-19 cases continue to decline in our area, we have decided, in partnership with our health-care partners and the Department of Public Health, to adjust our testing requirement for undergraduate commuter students once February is over.

New Testing Requirement

Beginning March 1, undergraduate commuter students will not automatically be tested each week. Instead, you will be periodically selected for testing, which will take place on Mondays in the Konover Campus Center. If you are selected for a test, you will be notified the Thursday before and asked to choose a time slot for the following Monday. If you are chosen, it is required that you attend your appointment.

Commuter students living in the immediate area (Hartford, West Hartford, Bloomfield) and those with high contact on campus, such as full-time students, student workers, and members of student organizations, should expect to be selected for testing more frequently than those living farther away and having less contact with the campus community.
