Student Testing Information
Any student not fully vaccinated is required to conduct weekly screening testing.
As a reminder, all students are required to comply with Emory’s student immunization policy, including COVID-19 vaccination, for fall 2021. Please upload your vaccination status as soon as possible.
Faculty and Staff Testing Information
Fall 2021
All faculty and staff are required to be fully vaccinated (two weeks past receiving both doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine), with exemptions for those with medical conditions or strong personal objections.
Any faculty or staff member who is not fully vaccinated due to an approved exemption, will be required to conduct a weekly screening test to remain compliant. To facilitate this process, all faculty and staff are required to share their vaccination status with Emory.

Symptomatic employees should visit Northlake to complete a COVID-19 test and call the Contact Tracing Line (404.727.6190) while they await their testing results. Please do not visit the Emory screening locations if you are symptomatic.

- They are not on campus or accessing any campus facility during the given week(s).
- They are isolating due to current COVID-19 positive status, in quarantine due to COVID-19 exposure, or received a COVID-19 positive test result within the past 90 days.
