COVID-19 TESTING AT STUDENT HEALTH
Who can get tested?
- Students who have symptoms of COVID-19.
- Students who have had direct close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. (Close contact is defined as someone who spends 15 minutes or more within 6 feet of a person with COVID-19 over a period of 24 hours).
What is the cost?
- COVID-19 Tests are free to students that present with symptoms or have been exposed as defined above. To set up an appointment, Join the Line and we will call you by phone.
- Blood tests are available, but only after consultation with a healthcare provider.
Where do I schedule asymptomatic COVID-19 testing?
- For students required by the campus to complete asymptomatic screening testing for COVID-19 please click here to register.
Turn around time for results:
Student Health does not currently have the capability to process the test on site. We collect the sample and it is sent to an off-campus laboratory to be run. Depending on the volume of the off-campus laboratory, your result may not be available for several days.
If you were tested outside Student Health, please contact the organization that performed the test for results and notify Student Health of the results through the patient portal.
It is important to understand that the County Public Health Department is notified of any individual who has tested positive for COVID-19 or any other mandated reportable illness.

Dear UCSB Students,
We wanted to reach out to you all in light of the Supreme Court confirmation.
Many people around the country are feeling uncertain about the future of their reproductive rights and this might introduce added anxiety to an already uncertain situation with the pandemic and an upcoming election.
Student Health would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm to you our commitment to provide the highest quality healthcare, which includes all reproductive health options that we can provide as well as referrals for services that we do not provide.
We also want to remind you all that birth control is available at no cost to students through whatever insurance they have. If you have UC SHIP, we can provide that care at Student Health. If you don't have UC SHIP we can still provide the service, but there might be some out of pocket costs.
Please visit our website (https://studenthealth.sa.ucsb.edu) and join our Appointment Desk Qless Line for any questions you might have.
And finally, please keep in mind that mental health support is available through Student Health, CAPS, and the UCSB wellness site: https://wellbeing.ucsb.edu
We hope you stay well.
Sincerely,
UCSB Student Health
