The start of a new semester at Penn State marks more than just the start of classes. For many students, the new semester also marks their first time living on their own and with that independence also comes the need for personal responsibility for one’s own safety and security.
During the first two weeks of in-person learning (Feb. 15 to Feb. 26), the University will conduct universal COVID-19 testing of all students who are taking in-person classes or who are taking a fully remote or online course load while living in Centre County or within a 20-mile radius of a Penn State campus outside of University Park. Students should be on the lookout for an email sent to their Penn State email address to register for a time to get tested. At University Park, the tests will be administered seven days a week in Room 126 of the White Building. Testing site details at other Penn State campuses will be communicated directly to students.
