The requirement is designed to help prevent coronavirus cases on campus, Dr. Mary Buchwalder, director of the University Health Center wrote in a letter addressed to students posted on the university's website.
The testing program centers on early identification and isolation of those who test positive but who have no symptoms and may be unaware they have the illness to reduce the chance they will expose others on campus.
The required test is a nasopharyngeal PCR test for SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus that causes COVID-19, the letter stated.
Anyone who tests positive may not come to campus and will start the semester online during the infectious period, even for those without symptoms.
