COVID-19 Student Testing Updates

February 26, 2021

Dear Tulane Community,

This is a reminder that all students, including those who tested positive for the virus more than 90 days ago, are required to participate in ongoing surveillance testing throughout the semester. Please read below important facts about the surveillance testing program.

COVID Appointment & Test
  • Do not schedule an appointment or visit a campus testing center before receiving a QR code via email from no-reply@lablynx.com. If you do not have an active order (QR code) to get tested, you will be turned away from the testing center.
     
  • QR Codes are sent based on testing capacity and a carefully planned schedule, please monitor your email, and schedule your test after you receive your new QR code.
     
  • For COVID testing questions only, email chtestresults@tulane.edu.
     
  • For general Campus Health questions, email campushealth@tulane.edu.
Individuals who have reached 90 days since their initial COVID-19 diagnosis
  • Individuals who have reached 90 days since their initial COVID-19 diagnosis will be required to follow the return-to-campus testing protocol and follow scheduled surveillance testing throughout the semester.
     
  • Please monitor your email and schedule your test once you receive a QR code. Should you have any questions about when you should return to the surveillance testing program please email chtestresults@tulane.edu.
Individuals who have tested positive
  • If you have tested positive outside of the Tulane Testing Program you must submit documentation through the COVID-19 Reporting Form.
     
  • If you have tested positive you do not need to be tested for 90 days. If you receive a notice to test within this 90-day period, please contact chtestresults@tulane.edu for assistance.
Tulane Contact Tracing

All students are required to participate in contact tracing to limit the spread of COVID-19, unless you have tested positive within the last 90 days.

  • Fill in the date you received the COVID-19 vaccine. When finished, click "Submit."
  • Please click the link to upload a copy of your vaccine documentation so that your information can be verified, it will appear via a pop-up window.
