Make an Appointment to Get Tested for COVID in January

We’ve made it through an extraordinary and difficult year! Congratulations on persevering through Fall semester and for doing your part to prevent COVID-19 at SLCC. During the last four months, our case count has been low, and we’ve experienced very little spread of the virus on campus. Thank you for helping keep our community safe and healthy.

With the end of each semester comes the start of a new one, and preventing the spread of COVID-19 will continue to be a priority for SLCC during the next few months. One mitigation effort we will employ is COVID testing for all on-campus students, faculty and staff as early in the semester as possible. If you will be on campus at least one day per week during Spring semester, please make the time to get tested. To help in this, SLCC is implementing the following testing schedule :

• January 5-7, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Taylorsville Redwood Campus Student Center.

• Starting January 11, testing will be available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at both the Taylorsville Redwood and South City campuses. The South City testing location is at CCM 1-110.

You MUST be asymptomatic in order to participate in on-campus testing. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you will be directed to pursue off-campus testing and self-isolate while you wait for your results.

Testing appointments can be made online. From start to finish, testing should take no more than 2 minutes, and your results will be emailed to you the same day.

For students who qualify for on-campus testing, if you get tested at one of our locations by January 22, you will receive a $10 credit on your OneCard. This credit can be used at your convenience at any campus location where OneCards are accepted for payment, including food courts and bookstores.

Attending an On-Campus Class? Get Tested for COVID by Jan. 22

The year 2021 is finally here! SLCC is excited to have students back on campus this spring, and we are looking to get the semester off to a safe and healthy start. To achieve this, we are asking each student who attends at least one in-person class or lab per week to participate in COVID-19 testing by January 22 . If this applies to you, please make an appointment to get tested at one of our on-campus testing facilities. The current testing schedule is as follows: January 5 - 7 , from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Taylorsville Redwood Campus Student Center. Starting January 11 , testing will be available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at both the Taylorsville Redwood and South City campuses. The South City testing location is at CCM 1-110. For students who qualify for on-campus testing, if you get tested at one of our locations by January 22, you will receive a $10 credit on your OneCard. This credit can be used at your convenience at any campus locat

College Planning for Students on Campuses this Fall

Students – we have greatly missed them in our classrooms and labs. We can’t wait to see them back on our campuses. But we want to see students return only with their health and safety as our highest priority. With that, our plan is to welcome students back in time for the start of this coming fall semester with in-person and, as always, a wide variety of online class offerings. We will continue to monitor guidelines issued by the state and the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE), and, if there are any changes to this plan, we will notify students immediately. USHE recently issued a press release with a COVID-19 update, which can be found here . For a full recap of USHE’s detailed plans, click here . USHE institutions, including SLCC, are currently working on what a return to campus will look and feel like this fall. Those details continue to evolve based on factors like “disease prevalence,” diagnostic testing supplies, contact tracing and the ability to provide “adequate” sup

COVID-19 Testing for Students at SLCC

The following email sent to all current SLCC students was updated Dec. 4, 2020. Dear SLCC Students, I am asking for your help. It’s no secret that Utah is in crisis due to the massive, recent surge in COVID-19 cases. This surge is creating a dire situation for our hospitals where their ability to provide emergency treatment or intensive care is becoming severely limited. As a student at Salt Lake Community College, you have an extraordinary opportunity to help reverse this troubling trend and have a real and positive impact on the health of all Utahns. Since many of you are already coming to campus, and so many in your age group are asymptomatic, SLCC is joining other Utah colleges and universities to test all college students attending in-person classes this fall. Here’s how it will work: Students who are 18 or older and who attend at least one in-person class this semester are being offered tests, which should be done every 14 days. Testing will take place at the Taylorsville
