Weekly surveillance testing is required for any employee who has not yet voluntarily provided proof of vaccination to opt-out of weekly testing and any student who is partially vaccinated or has received a limited medical or religious exemption.
Vaccinated employees with a physical presence on campus who have not yet reported or received their booster shot must test once a month or until they receive their booster and provide proof to Human Resource Management. (Please note: Employees who have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 90 days will be temporarily exempt from surveillance testing.)
Testing is being conducted utilizing self-test kits. Test kits are available for pick up and drop off at the University Police “Safe Trade Zone,” Chase Hall 126, open 24/7. You may also pick up and drop off test kits at Human Resources, CLEV 403, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tests dropped off after 2:00 p.m. will be delivered to the lab the following business day.
This weekly requirement must be met by the close of testing each Friday. To expedite the process, please complete the registration process through the online portal. A user guide to the registration process (PDF, 2.4 MB) is available online. Individual test results will be securely posted to the online portal, and test participants will be notified via e-mail when their test results are available. If you need any assistance with the process, please email adminops@buffalostate.edu.
