HELENA — Carroll College announced today that the Carroll College Board of Trustees allocated funding to provide a COVID-19 test to every student as they return to campus this fall.
Carroll College will be using a testing firm from which they have received both positive references and will guarantee a 48-hour turnaround time for results.
President John Cech shared in an email to the campus community, “This is exciting news, and it will allow us to start the year with a clear picture of the COVID-19 status of all of our students. This makes the 14-day self-quarantine before coming to campus critically important.”
Carroll College has asked that all students returning to campus in August to complete a 14-day quarantine prior to their arrival for fall semester.
The college is currently finalizing the procedures for testing and will provide an update on Wednesday, Aug. 5, as part of their weekly COVID-19 all-campus communication. Students returning to campus will not need to change their travel plans. The current move-in schedule has students arriving Aug. 14 and 15 on a staggered schedule.
Additional details about the implementation of this new 48-hour testing effort will be forthcoming.
