COVID-19 Testing Information
Surveillance Testing
Linfield University screens students for COVID-19 at the start of the semester, as well as regularly throughout the semester using a focused approach. Linfield surveillance tests groups of students on campus to get a picture of how COVID-19 might be affecting our community.
McMinnville campus
On the McMinnville campus, groups of students are tested each week. This includes a percentage of student-athletes who are engaged in moderate and high contact sports, as well as students residing in campus housing and representatives from many groups, clubs and organizations on campus.
Portland campus
On the Portland campus, a group of students are tested every two weeks throughout the semester.
Some clinical sites may require nursing students to have a COVID-19 test before going to clinical. This will be the responsibility of the student to obtain their own test.
Symptomatic Testing
In addition, students are encouraged to seek medical care if they are worried about symptoms resembling COVID-19 or when the #CampusClear app or Daily Health Checklist tells them to contact your provider.
Portland students should reach out to their primary care providers.
McMinnville students can be examined at the acute respiratory clinic within Linfield’s Student Health Center. Appointments are strongly encouraged and can be made by calling 503-883-2535. And, as always, all Linfield University students are eligible to use the facility. Students will have their insurance billed for the test and the student is financially responsible for any charges not covered by insurance. The Student Health Center, located in Walker 103, is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. McMinnville students looking for medical assistance outside of office hours can be seen at Physicians Medical Center or Willamette Valley Medical Center.
For more information about ongoing testing, contact Student Health, Wellness and Counseling in McMinnville at SHLT@linfield.edu or Student Life in Portland at pdxstudentlife@linfield.edu.
