An Important Message for FSC Students

Consistent with the SUNY mandate, and as part of the College’s ongoing efforts to limit the spread of the coronavirus, FSC is requiring testing of students attending in-person classes as well as all residential students. You must comply with all requirements for pre-Thanksgiving, post-Thanksgiving, and Finals Week testing or risk disciplinary action including possible suspension. Students will be required to participate in pooled saliva testing or provide proof of a negative PCR or Rapid antigen COVID-19. All on campus testing will be conducted in the Roosevelt Hall Multipurpose Room. Please carefully read the message below.

Pre-Thanksgiving Testing

Residential students and those students with an on-campus class or laboratory will be required to test by pooled saliva testing or provide proof of a negative PCR or Rapid antigen COVID-19 to the Health & Wellness Center. Surveillance testing at FSC will be conducted each day starting Monday, November 16 through Friday, November 20. Testing will occur at the Roosevelt Hall Multi-Purpose Room from 9:30am - 3:30pm each day. All students who are required to test must register at http://register.suny-covid.com at least one day in advance of their preferred testing date.  

If you choose to be tested off campus, the date of the test must be within the same November 16 to November 20 period. Email your results to wellness@farmingdale.edu.
