Just like in the fall, SUNY Oswego will conduct exit testing for all of its students before they leave for the summer, Dr. Jerri Howland told students in an email on Friday, April 23.

Students must obtain a negative COVID-19 test “no more than seven days” before they expect to leave, as the email said. Once the student receives his or her test, they are allowed to leave the “campus or community.” 

The final day for students to take these exit tests will be on Friday, May 7, and can be scheduled like any other test, using the SUNY Oswego box office website. 

Those who are attending SUNY Oswego at the Syracuse campus were instructed to plan their exit test on Thursday, May 6, per the email that was sent out.

For students attending the school’s commencement ceremonies, either as a guest or graduate, they are still required to take a weekly COVID-19 test during the week of May 3-7.

Fully vaccinated students are still required to take an exit test, as they take the weekly COVID-19 tests at Lee Hall already.

As of May 6, SUNY Oswego has administered over 55,000 COVID-19 tests this semester alone. Also as of May 6, SUNY Oswego has had 548 positive COVID-19 cases this semester.
