Are faculty and staff required to be tested for COVID-19 before the start of the fall semester? (Added August 16)

Faculty or staff who live in Indiana are not required to be tested for COVID-19 before the start of the semester on Aug. 24, as risk of exposure has remained low. 

Employees who have returned or will be returning to campus after July 31 from travel outside of Indiana due to vacation or other reasons are encouraged to get tested for COVID-19 upon return to West Lafayette. This is important to reduce the risk of introducing COVID-19 from areas with surging cases. Instructions on how to get tested are available here.
