Testing information for Spring Break

Dear Allegheny College Campus Community,

I am writing with updates on the pandemic response on our campus and information and testing around Spring Break.

Allegheny College campus COVID-19 testing update for last week:

  • 3 students tested positive (all vaccinated), all at Quality Inn, all resting comfortably.
  • 1 employee tested positive (vaccinated) and is resting comfortably at home.
  • Our positivity rate is 0.27%.

Testing over Spring Break:

  • If you remain on campus over break and are due for testing, the Wise Testing Center will be open with reduced hours. Please find our testing hours here.
  • If you develop symptoms of COVID-19, remember that you can walk in to the testing center during open hours or email ACHA at healthagency@allegheny.edufor advice.

Returning from Spring Break:

  • Returns from break are when we see our highest COVID-19 positivity rates on campus. Protect your friends and colleagues! If you travel over Spring Break, even for one night, you MUST test at the Wise Center before returning to your residence hall or office.
  • Fully vaccinated students who are already living on campus and are traveling for spring break, sign up for testing.
  • Employees can sign up for testing.
  • Vaccine-exempt students and employees who traveled must obtain a PCR test off campus within the three days before you return to campus.
  • For those staying in Meadville over break, the testing center will be open on select days, which will be posted on our website hereSign up for your test here.

Gator strong. Gator safe.
