Streamlined COVID-19 testing process

Dear Pacific students and employees,

Starting this week, we have streamlined the process for COVID-19 testing on our three campuses. This applies to:

  • Unvaccinated/partially vaccinated students and employees (and those who have not yet reported their vaccination status), who are required to undergo weekly testing.
  • Fully vaccinated individuals who need to test 3–5 days after close contact with a COVID-19-positive person (see Isolation and Quarantine Guidelines).
  • Those seeking elective testing.

The university’s weekly testing sites are only for individuals who are not experiencing potential COVID-19 symptoms. 

If you are experiencing potential symptoms of COVID-19, please isolate immediately and do not visit the weekly testing sites. Employees who may have one or more symptoms of COVID-19 should contact their primary health care provider. Students experiencing potential COVID-19 symptom(s) should contact the Student Health Center to schedule an appointment for evaluation (209.946.2315, Option 1 or 209.946.2315, Option 4 if after hours). 

Read additional guidance about what to do if you have potential COVID-19 symptoms or exposure. 

The hours listed below are for the week of August 23, 2021 only. Changes to the testing hours will be posted on the Weekly Testing section of the COVID-19 website at least one day in advance.
