COVID Testing Info:
The Student Health and Counseling Center (SHCC) continues to offer COVID-19 testing to our students. If you are seeking testing, please note the following procedure:
- Call 503.838.8313 or come to the SHCC and check to see if we have any remaining rapid COVID tests that are available in our lobby while supplies last.
- If there are no Rapid COVID tests abailable and you want to be screened, please schedule an appointment with one of our medical assistants. They will obtain a specimen, which will be sent out to Quest Diagnostics for processing. This method of testing is not rapid and may take a day or two to receive results.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions about testing, COVID-19, or any other medical, mental health, or general health concerns.
Call us at 503-838-8313 or email health@wou.edu if you have any questions.
