How often will I be screened?

After the initial return-to-campus screening, additional random sampling will occur as well as targeted routine screening for various campus populations. This will include on-campus housing residents, student-athletes, and students taking courses that require hands-on instruction.

What is required for the screening?

Faculty, staff, and students will receive an email with a registration link to schedule an appointment. On-campus screening locations will be established in Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and Meridian. Arrangements will also be made for screening in Twin Falls and Anchorage, Alaska. You will go to the assigned on-campus screening location at your scheduled time to provide a saliva sample. The entire screening process is non-invasive, does not require close contact with others, and should take less than ten minutes. Results are expected to be returned in 24-72 hours. The University is using a saliva-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screen, which is the gold standard diagnostic tool. Because it is saliva-based, it is recommended that you hydrate the hour before your sample is collected. Also, you should not eat, drink, smoke, chew gum, brush your teeth, or use mouthwash in the 1 hour prior to providing the saliva sample.

What if I have had a previous positive COVID-19 test?

Individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 by PCR or antigen AND provide documentation of the test results are exempt from COVID-19 screening for 180 days following their positive test date may be exempt from screening.
