COVID-19 Testing on Campus

In partnership with the Tennessee Department of Health, COVID-19 testing will be conducted on the APSU campus for faculty, staff and students who meet specific conditions. Please seek out testing immediately if any of these conditions apply to you:

* You are experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms, or

* You have been in close contact (within 6 feet for 10 minutes or more) with someone with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis, or

* You have been informed that you are a member of a group or team that is undergoing surveillance testing.

For individuals with these conditions, Boyd Health Services is conducting free COVID-19 testing at the rear entrance of the Ard Building, Monday through Friday, 9-11 a.m. Testing is conducted on a drop-in basis, with no appointment necessary.

Please Self-Report

Austin Peay State University relies on community members to report data regarding positive COVID-19 tests, exposures, self-quarantining and when they have recovered from COVID-19 or have been released from quarantine. Even though we report positive cases that have been reported to university administrators, that does not mean the person contracted the virus on campus. It only means that a member of our community has tested positive. To make a report, fill out the form at the link below:
