Testing Information
COVID-19 testing is a requirement this semester and your on-campus privileges depend on you showing up for all of your tests.
Testing Program Overview
As mentioned in the Campus Guide, Bowdoin College has developed a testing protocol in partnership with the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that is central to our return-to-campus plan. Per the Campus Community Agreement, students must comply with Bowdoin’s COVID-19 testing.
Test attendance will be tracked throughout the semester, and
students will be allowed one unexcused missed test. A student who misses three additional COVID-19 tests without prior written authorization will effectively opt out of the testing protocol and forfeit their on-campus privileges, including physically living on campus, and will move to remote learning for the remainder of the semester.
