Reminders for Submitting COVID-19 Test Results

Communication, COVID-19, Instructors, Start of Term, Students, University Process

Campaign Description

As some universities return to in-person activities, many are requiring faculty and students to submit a negative COVID-19 test taken within 14 days of the start of term. This message would serve as a reminder to individuals they need to submit their test results. Our sample message includes a consequence to not submitting test results (ex. having a block on your account) but if there are no consequences the text can be easily altered to fit the messaging of your university.

Success Criteria

Students and instructors would be reminded of testing requirements and led to where to submit their COVID-19 test results.

A notice that the student/instructor has not submitted proof of their COVID-19 testing results before the start of term.
