PRE-MATRICULATION TESTING REMINDER
As previously communicated by the COVID-19 Response Unit (CRU), undergraduate and professional students must complete a pre-matriculation test on campus at the University Testing Center. Because the majority of doctoral and masters students have remained in the area and regularly participated in weekly surveillance testing, pre-matriculation testing is not required, but is encouraged and available.
