COVID Surveillance Testing

As you have heard the surveillance COVID testing for students, faculty and staff is beginning. Students will go to the TREC to have their test done within 48 hours of receiving their email that they have been selected. TREC is testing 7 days a week – so 48 hours is 48 hours not business days. If a student can NOT meet that time the student will need to email randomtesting@purdue.edu.
