PRE-ARRIVAL COVID TESTING:
UPDATED 8/15/2020
Please have a test conducted within 5 days, ie.; 5 days or less, before coming to campus. This is defined as the date you move in to your dorm if you are living on campus. If you are living off campus, it will be 8/31 which is the official first day of classes. We cannot accept tests done prior to that time frame but this information is very useful to you so you know you are not positive.

For example: if you are due on campus 8/10, we will accept tests done 8/5-8/9. Please count back 5 days from your arrival date to identify your own window for testing.

Please note these time parameters refer to the day when you were tested (i.e; the swab was in your nose), not when the results were available.

Also, please note that Rapid Antigen tests and Antibody tests cannot be accepted as we are trying to identify current/ active infection. Only PCR tests meet the criteria set forth by our infectious disease consultants. This may be listed as SARS CoV2- NAA or SARS CoV2- PCR or RNA. If you are not able to get the correct test in the required time frame, or your result is delayed, you will be tested at Bard and will have to wait for our results to participate in person. 

PLEASE EMAIL ALL RESULTS OF OFF CAMPUS/ PRE-ARRIVAL COVID-19 PCR TESTS TO: 
covidclearance@bard.edu
