Asymptomatic testing for COVID-19 is conducted at the Public Health Promotion Center (PHPC) at the Mullins Center. This testing is designed to mitigate community spread through the early detection of infection.
Testing is free, fast and critically important in our efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The Center is open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every Monday through Thursday, except Dec. 23-24, and Dec. 30-31.
Key Aspects of the Plan
Invited to live on campus: Students whose success is most closely linked to on-campus learning, living
These undergrads represent about 60% of the typical residential population
Groups include:
- First-year, transfer and international students
- Students with mandatory face-to-face classes
- Students dependent on UMass for housing and dining, as well as students requiring specific academic accommodations or those participating in athletics
Successful COVID-19 testing, contact tracing programs will expand
While limited face-to-face instruction will occur, the majority of teaching will be fully remote
