You can get tested at our free STI testing day on Tuesday, March 7 from 10:30am-3pm in the UC Courtyard. Come out to pick up swag, snacks, and resources and enter our draw for a chance to win a $100 Bookstore gift card!

How are the tests completed? 

  • Getting tested is fast, free, and easy, all you have to do is *pee in a cup!
