Cindy Cullen, coordinator of international student services, helps international students move into their new campus homes, Jan. 15, 2021.
It's hard enough for international students to make the journey to a new nation under normal circumstances. The pandemic presents additional challenges, but a team of campus staff led by the Center for International Programs did all they could, even making custom care packages, to make the move-in and quarantine period as comfortable as possible. Please join us in welcoming these newest members of our community!

FAQ on Weekly COVID-19 Testing
|
|
How does the weekly COVID-19 testing schedule work?
Pool testing will be provided from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday – Thursday, with the first hour (9-10 a.m.) for employees only.
No appointments are necessary for pool testing, but pre-registration through SUNY Upstate Medical University is required and must be updated with each test.
Students, faculty and staff can get a pool test anytime, but we ask members of our community to follow the testing schedule as best they can, to reduce overcrowding at the testing site.
In addition to all-day pool testing Monday – Thursday, we will offer Friday make-up testing for those who were unable to get a test earlier in the week. Friday testing will use individual PCR test kits administered by our partners at Enzo Labs.
Friday PCR testing is by appointment only. Please use this link to sign up (faculty and staff should enter the letter “E”, then their employee ID number, where the scheduling form asks for student ID).
