COVID-19 Case Update, Antigen Rapid Tests Now Used for Mandatory Testing

MCC’s Testing Center now uses COVID-19 antigen rapid tests—a simple and more comfortable nasal test. Students and employees no longer need to register with or sign into the Quadrant Laboratories site prior to testing.

If you received a vaccination exemption, live on campus and/or are a member of a specific group (e.g., student-athlete, health professions student, etc.) and engage in-person learning, you are required to test every week you are on campus.

Located in the Flynn Campus Center Forum (3-130), the testing center will be open today and tomorrow as follows; no appointment necessary:

  • Mon., Feb. 14 from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m.
  • Tue., Feb. 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Do not go to the NYS Community Testing site in the Gilman Lounge (3-114) that serves the general public.
