SUNY Oswego students must now use a new COVID-19 testing verification resource. This app will allow students, faculty and staff the ability to verify that they have taken their weekly COVID-19 test.

The app can be accessed from a smartphone or laptop online. After logging onto the website, using this link: oswego.edu/covid-test-verification, one will see their ID number, name and date along with the word “YES” or the word “NO.” 

The word “YES” indicates that the person has been tested within the last week, in the current week or if they have a medical exemption. The word “NO” means that the individual has not been tested in the last week and is not medically exempt from testing. Students in quarantine and isolation also will also receive a “NO.” 

“We hope you find the new ‘COVID-19 Testing Verification”’app helpful, and it removes some of the confusion associated with the Green dot/Red dot system that is directly connected to the daily health screening,” SUNY Oswego President Deborah Stanley said in an email. 

The app is being used by SUNY Oswego faculty and staff as a means of verifying that students have been tested prior to class or entering on-campus facilities such as the dining hall. 

“I think the new app is more effective than the previous one and a lot quicker to access because you don’t have to answer a questionnaire,” said Rachel Dickson, a junior adolescent education major. 

Students will still be required to fill out their daily health screening.
