Pre-Arrival Testing

If you have previously tested positive for COVID-19 90 days prior to your move-in date, you do not need to take a pre-arrival COVID-19 test. If this applies to you, email uhs-covid-reports@med.umich.edu with the following information: (1) full name, (2) UMID, (3) date of results and (4) copy of results. You must submit all this information in order to be considered exempt from testing. Your prior positive test must be a diagnostic PCR or antigen test—antibody tests will not be accepted.

If you've previously participated in the fall pre-arrival program, you will use the same username/password you previously created through the my.questforhealth.com site. There is a username/password retrieval option on the site, if you forgot your login information. If you continue to experience an issue and need assistance with ordering your test kit, contact the Quest Diagnostics customer service center at 855-6-BE-WELL. Customer service is available: Monday-Friday: 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Central and Saturday: 7:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Central.

For graduate students living in Munger or Northwood apartments, the university will accept an outside PCR testing if your move-in date occurs before your test kit arrives. Students living in Northwood apartments have the choice to do an outside PCR test or be tested at UHS or through the U-M COVID-19 Community Sampling and Tracking Program.

When you register your MyQuestforHealth Account, confirm the pre-populated information is correct with your Unique ID (your student ID). You can change the address where you would like the test kit sent. Please Note: this cannot be a P.O. BOX, military base or international address.

If you are required to get a COVID-19 test prior to move-in, but didn't get one, you have these three options:

1. Take a diagnostic PCR or antigen test (antibody tests are not accepted) at an outside facility on or after Jan. 7 and submit a negative result prior to your move-in date. Email uhs-covid-reports@med.umich.edu with this information: (1) full name, (2) UMID, (3) date of results, and (4) copy of negative result. You must submit all this information to be considered exempt from Quest testing. Also bring a copy with you to move-in.

OR

2. If you are moving in Jan 15-17: When you arrive on campus, drop off your personal belongings at your residence hall to be stored and go immediately to the Intramural Sports Building (IMSB) to get a test. Testing is available at the IMSB:

• Friday, Jan. 15, 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

• Saturday, Jan. 16, 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

• Sunday, Jan. 17, 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

After you take your test, you will go immediately to Quarantine & Isolation (Q&I) Housing. Staff will be present at IMSB to assist you in getting to Q&I Housing. It may take 24-72 hours to get your test results, so pack a bag of essentials. If your test result is positive, you will need to isolate for 10 days from the date of your positive test, so you will need to plan ahead and pack clothes and belongings for 10 days. Housing will store your belongings until you return from Q&I Housing.

3. If you are moving in before Jan 14 or after Jan 16: follow instructions for #1 above, or call UHS to schedule a COVID-19 test. Contact the Q&I Coordination Center at 734-936-2600 between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to arrange a stay (or you can arrange to stay elsewhere) while you are awaiting results. You cannot move into U-M Housing until you have received a negative result. If your test result is positive, you will need to isolate for 10 days from the date of your positive test.
