Those living on campus should get tested every two weeks while others working or learning on campus should get tested once a month.

Two new COVID-19 testing sites on the UC Riverside campus open on February 1. The new satellite locations are in Bannockburn G-105 and outside the Student Success Center. Hours this week for both sites, which are open to students and employees, are Tuesday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The primary student/employee testing site in the Pentland Hills Bear Cave meeting room remains open. 

Reporting COVID-19 Test Results
