Surveillance Testing at Pitt-Greensburg

Each week resident and commuter students are randomly selected to participate in a COVID-19 surveillance testing program.  Knowing the prevalence of COVID-19 on our campus is a critical part of our effort to keep you and the Pitt-Greensburg community healthy.

If you are selected, please register, using the link provided in the notice, as soon as possible.  Only 35-45 students are accepted for each testing date.  If you are unable to register through the scheduling link provided, it may mean that all slots for upcoming dates are filled.  Your obligation is then complete, for this round.

If you are taking classes remotely only and will not be on campus for any reason this semester, you do not need to come in for testing.  Also, if you have tested positive for covid-19 in the last 90days, you should not be retested in this round.

Finally, there is no cost to completing the test.

Should you have any questions, please contact Jodi Kraisinger at kraising@pitt.edu or at 724-836-9942.

We appreciate you doing your part to keep our community healthy.
