West Virginia University in partnership with the
Monongalia County Health Department is expanding free on-campus COVID-19 community
testing opportunities.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 23, testing for WVU employees and Monongalia County residents will be offered at the Student Recreation Center ( G44):
Attendees should wear a face mask and practice physical distancing at the testing site. Attendees also should bring identification (driver's license or proof of address).
Sample Testing
WVU also plans to begin weekly random COVID-19 sample testing next week at the Student Rec Center among certain groups of students, faculty and staff who are on campus and have not been vaccinated or have not verified their vaccination with the University.
WVU will identify those who may be asked to participate in sample testing based on their role or academic discipline — regardless of whether the individual has a known exposure or is showing symptoms of COVID-19.
Certain groups may be asked to complete testing on a weekly basis based on their potential exposure to COVID-19 and vaccination status.
At this time, students and employees who verified their vaccination with the University will be exempt from sample testing.
Those asked to participate in sample testing will receive an email notification from CovidTesting@mail.wvu.edu with instructions to register for testing. Participants will sign up for their preferred testing date/time via StarRez (WVU’s housing portal).
Participants should receive their test results within three to five days. As always, participants should continue to follow the University’s safety protocols while awaiting their results.
Students and employees who are identified to take part in WVU’s sample testing program are required to complete COVID-19 testing. Those who fail to comply with the request to undergo testing may be subject to discipline in accordance with the University’s policies and procedures.
Visit the Return to Campus website for more information and the latest COVID-19 updates. WVU Health Sciences has updated the coronavirus.wvu.edu website to reflect the most up-to-date information on vaccines and the Delta variant.
