January 6, 2022

Dear Students,

As we start the semester virtually for the health and safety of our community, we want to make sure that you’re equipped with information. To help you navigate AU in January, we’ve posted a resource - the Student’s Guide to January 2022 - that lists what’s open on campus, how to reach key services, and where to find answers to frequent questions. We hope it’s helpful!

We’d also like to make sure you’re aware of the following:

  • You must test for Covid-19 within 48 hours of arriving on campus, whether to live in a residence hall, work, or study, unless you tested positive within the past 90 days. If your positive test was during break or off-campus, report it on the .
  • Covid testing is now available six days a week, including Saturdays (9 a.m.-1 p.m.), at the East Campus testing site (Constitution Hall). Here is where to find the testing schedule and locations. (Remember: no tests are provided at the Student Health Center building!)
  • February 10 is the deadline to upload proof of your required Covid booster. Students, upload it to your student health portal. If you’re not sure where to get a booster, here are some resources.
  • Students in residence halls must select a move-in date and time slot (Jan. 6-Jan. 30) in the Housing Portal. Once you’re on campus, complete the Self Check-In.

Welcome back, and have a safe, healthy, and successful start to the semester!
