Getting tested

There is more detailed information about the COVID-19 saliva-based tests on the On-Campus COVID-19 Testing page.

Here are some of the basics:

Before the test
  • You should refrain from eating, drinking, tooth brushing, mouth washing, gum chewing, and tobacco use for one hour before submitting your saliva sample.
  • While you line up outside the testing location, you should wear a face covering and practice social distancing.
The test itself

For step-by-step information about the COVID-19 saliva-based tests, please visit the On-Campus COVID-19 Testing page.

  • You will be asked to verify your phone number and address.
  • You can also choose to answer which race you identify with. The Illinois Department of Public Health has requested we ask each person’s race who is tested on-campus. Providing this information is optional for each person who is tested.
  • You will be asked to provide a saliva sample. The sample collection only takes a few minutes.
  • Individuals will be asked the following questions at collection so staff know which tub to direct you to:
    • Do you have any COVID symptoms? Have you recently received an exposure notification? Do you have reason to believe you are at high risk for COVID?
  • Typical test results are expected within 5 hours, but results could take up to 48 hours.
