COVID-19 Testing Options for Students

Students who have symptoms, including fever or feverish feeling, chills, a new cough, shortness of breath, a new sore throat, new muscle aches, new headache, new loss of smell or taste can be tested for COVID-19 by scheduling an appointment at Student Health Services by calling 507-389-6276. Tests are by appointment only and clinic/lab charges apply.

Students and staff who have had contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 can obtain a rapid COVID-19 test on campus at no cost from 8am-4pm Monday through Friday in the Health Education office (Carkoski Commons 100).

Testing is recommended five days after exposure to someone who has tested positive to COVID-19. No appointment is needed for exposure testing. Tests are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
