Make Use of UNO's Testing Resources

Students, faculty, and staff can make use of testing resources from both the Office of Health Security and Nebraska Medicine UNO Health Center.

Office of Health Security: Located in the Health and Kinesiology Building on Dodge Campus, the OHS offers a self-administered, simple, and painless PCR test. Sign-ups are on a first-come-first-served basis. You can register now through the UNO Office of Health Security’s scheduling platform for a test Monday-Thursday.

Nebraska Medicine UNO Health Center: Members of the Maverick community can call 402.554.2374 to schedule an appointment at Nebraska Medicine UNO Health Center.

To get tested at the Nebraska Medicine UNO Health Center, you must schedule a telehealth appointment with one of their providers, who will determine during the visit if testing is warranted. Testing for asymptomatic individuals is not currently available through the UNO Health Center.

Report Any Positive COVID-19 Tests

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, test positive for COVID-19, or come into close contact with someone who has tested positive, we strongly encourage you to fill out and submit a BRT form. Doing so allows the Office of Health Security to begin their contact tracing process, which promotes your wellness and the wellness of our campus community.

Once the Health Security team receives your form, they will take the following steps:

  1. One of our contact tracers will call you to discuss when you began showing symptoms, when you were tested, where you have been, and who you have been around.

  2. Provide guidance on next steps for your individual situation.

If you have tested positive, you will need to isolate for at least 10 days from the start of your symptoms. If you come into close contact with someone who has tested positive – meaning within six feet for 15 minutes or more – you will be asked to self-quarantine.

Connect, Take Care, Get Help

One of the most courageous things you can do when you are feeling stressed or anxious is to reach out for help.
