Symptomatic At-Home Test Kits (Students Only)
To provide students with options for immediate testing needs, Student Engagement and Well-Being has procured a limited supply of at-home testing kits to facilitate self-care for students who are experiencing symptoms or illness that could be Covid-19 related. Students are encouraged first and foremost to use on-campus testing. However, this may be prohibitive for some students who are feeling ill.
Due to a limited and unpredictable supply chain, these at-home test kits are being distributed only to Georgia Tech students who are symptomatic. Kits will be available for no-contact delivery to students who reside on campus, or for pickup by a designated individual who is not currently symptomatic. Only one kit (which contains two tests) will be provided to each student who requests one in any given week.
Kits will be available beginning Friday, Feb. 11.
Travel-Certified Testing
Travel testing is now being done with campus tests, which are collected from the testing site at 4 p.m. each day and processed the next day. Vault kits are no longer being used for travel testing.
