Unsure about getting tested for COVID-19? Been in close contact with someone with COVID-19? Confused about isolation and quarantine procedures? Use the decision tree document linked below for guidelines on getting tested, reporting a positive test and isolating yourself from others. As a reminder, if you test positive for COVID-19, regardless of symptoms and vaccination status, you should follow the instructions for students and faculty/staff here. 

Georgia State is offering free saliva-based PCR testing to all students, faculty and staff at the Downtown Atlanta Campus and each of our five Perimeter campuses. This FDA-approved test is expected to return results within 72 hours. No appointment or medical referral is required.

You must be onsite to complete your Vault registration at covid.vlt.co.

We recommend that those who have received a positive COVID-19 test do not get tested again for 90 days unless they experience new symptoms or a significant change in symptoms.

In response to the surge in COVID-19 infections, Georgia State University expanded COVID-19 testing Sept. 15 by making free, self-administered, PCR saliva test kits available to students, faculty and staff. Individuals may pick up a test kit at the Atlanta Campus location listed below, complete the instructions and return the test to the drop box at the location. Test results are returned within 48 hours and will be emailed to the individuals by the BRIO testing lab. Individuals who test positive should self-report to https://covidinfo.gsu.edu/covid-19-resources/report-a-case/ so they can get advice on the next steps to take and so that we can notify anyone who may have been in close contact.
