COVID-19 PCR saliva test kit distribution
COVID-19 test kits will be available throughout the Fall semester for FGCU staff, faculty and students.
Kits can be picked up from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday in the atrium of the Cohen Student Union and at all FGCU COVID-19 vaccine clinics. On Oct. 6-7, the Cohen testing table will be located outside in the breezeway.
If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, do not come to one of the pick-up locations. Please fill out your Veoci app health screener and a case investigator will reach out to give you further directions.
You must register your saliva-based kit online with Clinical Reference Laboratory (CRL) prior to use. Follow all the instructions that comes with the test kit, including placing the label on the specimen collection tube.
Each kit comes with a shipping pouch and a prepaid FedEx shipping label. Kits returned to a FGCU collection bin after 3 p.m. will be picked up the following day. Keep in mind that kits dropped off on campus will not be picked up for shipping during the weekends.
You can also mail your completed kit at any FedEx Office or FedEx Express location. Do not use a FedEx drop box or schedule a pickup, as it may delay your results. Find your closest FedEx location >
Kits need to be returned within 10 days for processing, and you will receive results typically within 24 to 48 hours. If you receive a positive test result, you will be contacted by a case investigator that will give them further instructions.
