Staying Vigilant About COVID-19

We’re so proud of the hard work and resilience that all Knights have shown in protecting our kingdom. Let’s each continue to Armor Up by wearing face coverings, keeping physical distance and screening your symptoms daily with the COVID Self-Checker.

If you or someone you know tests positive for COVID-19:

  • Stay home and don’t come to campus
  • Avoid contact with others
  • Call the UCF COVID Line at 407-823-2509
  • Continue home isolation until you’ve consulted with your healthcare provider about returning to campus

On-Campus Testing

A COVID-19 and antibody testing site is available at UCF in partnership with Aventus Biolabs. A test order by a medical provider is required, and most insurance covers the cost. UCF students & employees: Call the UCF COVID Line at 407-823-2509

Testing is available at Parking Garage A from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday.
