TCU’s free, voluntary COVID-19 PCR testing site will extend open days until Dec. 18 to serve the community.
Beginning this weekend, the site will be closed on Saturday and Sunday. The site may continue on or around the TCU campus beyond Dec. 18. Check the Curative.com website for updated information.
The location site will remain the same, in Parking Lot 6 between the Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena and the Dee J. Kelly Alumni & Visitors Center (it will not change locations).
Safe holiday gatherings
Participants are urged to remember that even if your test is negative, the results mark one moment in time and you should continue to adhere to public health guidance regarding masks, physical distancing and avoiding large gatherings. Read more tips for safe holiday gatherings.
The testing site is a partnership with Curative and funded by the Texas Division of Emergency Management. Testing is free for all students, faculty and staff, and open to the public. The COVID-19 tests are self-administered, contactless mouth swab tests. Walk-ins are welcome, or you may schedule an appointment in advance.
Testing site information:
Hours: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Monday – Friday
(closed Sat. and Sun.)
Located in TCU’s Parking Lot 6, 2820 Stadium Dr., between the Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena and the Dee J. Kelly Alumni & Visitors Center
Important Information for Participants
Participants are required to bring their driver’s license and wear a face covering. Insurance is not required and the test is free.
Results
Participants will receive their test results via text or email. Typically, results are typically available after 24-28 hours, but could be as much as 48 hours after testing. If you receive a positive COVID-19 test, please stay home and call your health care provider, followed by self-reporting your test result to TCU using the TCU COVID-19 online self-report form. Completing the form will initiate follow up from TCU Care Coordinators and contact tracing.
How the test works
Curative’s process is fast, simple and painless, involving a swab inside each cheek, upper and lower gums, underneath and top of the tongue and on the roof of the mouth. The tests take about 20 seconds to perform and provide results within 24-48 hours at no cost (and insurance is not required).
Look for the colorful mobile unit in the corner of Lot 6. Participants will self-collect while being observed by Curative’s trained team members. The tests provide fast, accurate results directly to the participant through text or email.
