Hello Off Campus, Remote Tompkin County and Commuter Students,  

I hope your first of week of classes are going well. A few reminders as we prepare for classes, all off campus, remote Tompkins county students and commuter students must check in at T13. In addition, we have our community Discord  join our Discord page and meet other students and ask questions! As a friendly reminder, all students must return to the Ithaca area by February 3rd. 

Arrival Testing 

Terrace 13 which is open Monday- Friday from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm is the location for off-campus, commuter, and remote Tompkins County students to obtain their first saliva self-collection kits prior to classes. T13 is currently open and will remain open throughout the spring semester.

In addition, students will be provided with two reusable face coverings and a reusable bag when picking up their kit. There is temporary parking outside of Terrace 13 to permit students close access to the building. Saliva samples must be returned by 11:30 am Monday through Friday to either Terrace 13, or one of the designated collection areas below, for processing that day.
