Covid Testing

Covid testing is really important to protect you, your friends and the wider community. Getting a free non-invasive test is easy – all you have to do is opt-in online. When your test is ready to send back just drop it off at one of the collection points at Halls or on campus. Opt-in for Covid testing here: Covid Testing Programme.

If you test positive, follow the steps below:

  • Isolate for 14 days if you don’t have symptoms.
  • Isolate for 10 days if you do have symptoms.
  • Let the University know about your test result here.
  • Log your test result on the NHS Track and Trace app.
  • If you have taken part in any club or society activities or events within the last couple of weeks, let their committee know you’ve tested positive.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us via hello@susu.org or 02380 595 200, or drop us a message on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
