COVID-19: Keeping Campus Safe
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, The University of Toledo has relied on evidence-based guidance from the Ohio Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as our own infectious disease experts, to promote a safe campus environment for our students, employees and guests.
The University continues to offer on-demand testing for students and employees who are experiencing symptoms of the virus and support services for students who must miss class because of an illness.
We continue to monitor and respond to changes in guidance from public health officials and state leaders.
Testing Availability
Faculty, staff and students who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 have access to on-demand testing through the University Health Center from 10 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday.
Individuals should go to door 2 at the front of the building and call 419.530.3451 to notify staff they are there for a test. Individuals can ring the doorbell and a clinic employee will escort them to a specially designated waiting area to get a rapid antigen test and see a provider.
No appointments are needed but individuals can call ahead to 419.530.3451 to reduce their wait time.
Insurance will be charged for the test. Students needing financial assistance can receive help by contacting Student Affairs at 419.530.7963.
The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department also maintains a list of community testing sites.
