Testing, Reporting & Contact Tracing

On-Campus Testing

The university is offering free on-campus COVID-19 testing for students, faculty and staff.

Positive Test Reporting

It is essential for health and safety that any member of the UNL community who tests positive for COVID-19 promptly notifies the Public Health Advocacy Team.

Contact Tracing

The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department and the UNL Public Health Advocacy Team are working together to conduct coordinated contact tracing for the UNL community.

COVID-19 Dashboard

Data reported on the COVID-19 Dashboard reflect results of testing UNL students, faculty, staff and affiliates. Results include on-campus and other testing. Data are updated daily.

Randomized Mitigation Testing

To help keep our campus community safe during the pandemic, UNL is conducting ongoing voluntary COVID-19 testing of a randomized sample of students, faculty, and staff each week.

About Our Testing
