There is no need to call ahead or schedule an appointment to pick up a rapid antigen test – simply walk in and one will be provided to you.

For more information about testing kits at the Loyola Law School, please visit the LLS Testing page. 

Instructions for your at-home antigen test are provided inside the kit.

Testing is available to LMU and LLS students, staff, faculty, and contractors only. Please be prepared to show your OneCard when obtaining a testing kit.

Unless advised by COVID Support, you do not need to take both tests. Simply store the additional test in a cool, dry place within your home for future use as needed.

If you need to obtain a PCR test, please call your medical provider, visit your local pharmacy, or visit L.A. County Health Services.

The FDA has approved an extended expiration date for COVID-19 antigen tests. Please view CareStart COVID Test Revised Expiration Dates to determine the updated expiration date for your test kit.

The on/go testing app is not required for at-home antigen testing. If you wish to download the app and use it at your own convenience, feel free.

Testing is not recommended if your first positive test was within the last 30 days. Testing is recommended (but not required) if your first positive test was 31-90 days ago.

Individuals may test regardless of vaccination status. 

LMU is currently offering testing free of charge to students and employees (including contractors who regularly work on our campus).

If you test positive for COVID-19, immediately return to your residence and follow the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's Home Isolation Instructions, and contact the LMU COVID Support Team at COVIDSupportTeam@lmu.edu immediately. If you are an employee on campus, please notify your supervisor and leave campus without delay. We understand that this is unsettling news, and we are here to support you. 

Contact your healthcare provider if you feel ill and require medical care. Students who are experiencing symptoms should contact Student Health Services at 310.338.2881.

Your privacy is our top priority. All test results reside in a HIPAA protected database. Test results and all other protected information that is discovered during the contact investigation remains confidential per HIPAA and FERPA.
