Testing

Take action if you are sick or exposed to COVID-19. The university strongly recommends you get tested if you have symptoms. The university continues to provide testing on campus at the COVID-19 Testing Center, 145 Sycamore Avenue, just west of the Student Health Center. For those who test positive either through on-campus or off-campus testing, it is still required that you report the positive result. Report an off-campus COVID-19 test. Employees and student employees remain required by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health to report positive COVID tests through February 2, 2025. Dodge College of Film and Media Arts will continue to follow film industry and guild protocols. Dodge students and faculty should direct questions to studenthealth@chapman.edu.
