COVID 19 - Testing

The AU Transportation office will provide tranportation to testing sites in Niles and St. Joseph area pharmacies and clinics.  We do not provide transportation to South Bend pharmacies and clinics.  Transportation request can be arranged by completing the Student Medical Request at least 24 hours before the schedule appointment time.   Testing sites can be found by clicking on the link below.

As there is still a significant level of infection, hospitalization and community spread of COVID-19 in Berrien County, where our main campus is located, our masking guidelines indoors will remain in place through at January 31, 2022.
As a reminder, for those who have not been vaccinated, a monthly negative COVID-19 test is required for involvement in on-campus, in-person activities before the end of each month. The University will also randomly screen for COVID-19 test results to confirm compliance with this guideline.You can find information on local COVID-19 testing options here.
