You can self-schedule an appointment for STI Screening tests, TB screening tests, and COVID-19 Symptomatic Testing by logging on to your Student Health Patient Portal. Follow the instructions under “Appointments”.

Fasting is required prior to some laboratory tests. Your medical provider may instruct you to have fasting blood tests. Fasting means nothing to eat, drink (other than water), or chew (e.g., gum) for 12 hours prior to the test. Please keep yourself well hydrated with water prior to all blood tests. Routine medications may be taken with water. DO NOT FAST BEYOND 14 HOURS.

If a non-Student Health Center provider has ordered lab tests for you, please submit your lab orders to Student Health Center first. Student Health Center Laboratory will process the test orders and you will then be contacted to visit the lab when your orders are ready. You may then return at a convenient time to have the blood drawn with minimal delay.

In accordance with the state and federal statutes, lab staff cannot disclose lab test results directly to you. However, lab results can be obtained from the medical provider or nurse who ordered the lab tests.  You may contact them accordingly.

Some test results such as T-Spot, Quantiferon Gold, and some titer tests (titer is a blood test that detects the presence of and measures the amount of antibodies within a person’s blood) may be available to you on your My Student Chart if they are ordered by a medical provider or nurse at the Student Health Center.
