Important Annoucement- Temporary Change of COVID-19 Testing Services
To support the implementation of a more expansive testing panel, our UCLA SwabSEQ testing service will be temporarily paused while UCLA updates and enhances the test.
Please visit this page for the latest updates, including information on when testing services will resume.
If you need a COVID-19 test during this temporary pause, you may use one of the following options:
- Over-the-counter antigen tests: Available at pharmacies and online, home antigen tests provide rapid results and can test for COVID as well as Influenza A/B, and more depending on the test.
- Primary Care Provider: Contact your primary care provider to schedule a COVID-19 test.
- Student Wellness Services (SWS): Students can book in their Health Portal or call (626) 395-8331 to schedule an appointment for care.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition.
For any questions, please contact us at [email protected]
Please see a list of testing options:
- You may test at home with an antigen test. These are available at most local pharmacies. Los Angeles County also has community health vending machines that offer free COVID-19 antigen tests. For more information, please visit: https://www.testandgo.com/la-county
- You may go to any local urgent care.
- You may test through your primary care provider.
