News and Events

We are seeing widespread increases of the COVID-19 virus in our community and throughout the state.  Although our on-campus cases have remained manageable, we are seeing a concerning increase in positive cases and in the number of students and staff that are self-quarantining. 

To help prevent the spread of the virus, the State of Minnesota has made free saliva testing available for COVID-19. We will be distributing test kits on campus through Thursday, November 19. Supplies are limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Upon receiving a test kit, DO NOT OPEN IT. You must participate in a Zoom appointment to take the test under the video supervision of a health professional. When you’ve completed the test, it can be returned to us in the sealed UPS package for shipping to the processing center.

We encourage you to take advantage of this free COVID-19 testing opportunity, even if you do not have symptoms. It will help you make choices to protect yourself and those around you prior to the Thanksgiving break.
