COVID-19 Testing Policy and Resources

All UTA employees and students can receive COVID-19 tests on campus through a partnership with Curative. Supported by funding from the Texas Division of Emergency Management, these on-campus testing services are free, regardless of insurance status. The PCR tests administered through this service meet diagnostic requirements for returning to school and work, and clearance for travel and medical procedures.

Curative Testing Center at 435 Spaniolo Drive in the College Park District

• Open seven days a week.
• Results in 1-2 days.
• This location is for students, faculty and staff.
• Appointments are strongly encouraged. They can be made through UTA’s portal on Curative’s website.

Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order four free at-⁠home COVID-⁠19 tests at COVIDtests.gov. Orders will usually ship in 7-12 days.

At-home COVID‑19 test kits and antiviral medications are covered for members of the UT Select and UT Connect prescription drug programs.

Please note: At-home tests may not meet the viral COVID-19 test criteria necessary to fulfill UTA testing requirements, but they are a good resource to have on hand to make decisions for the health and safety of people around you.

UTA Health Services offers free COVID-19 testing for students.

Students coming to Health Services with COVID-19-related concerns will meet with a health care provider. The provider will determine if testing is necessary.

Students with COVID-19 symptoms should call 817-272-2771 to schedule a consultation with a health center medical provider. In the event of a medical emergency, call 911 and inform the dispatcher of COVID-19 concerns.

COVID-19 testing with an in-network provider is at no cost for those with UT Select and UT Connect coverage. Find locations for COVID-19 testing sites.

Covered employees should contact Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) for assistance with finding a testing site. A BCBSTX representative will be happy to help with choosing an in-network provider with the best location for individual needs.

The BCBSTX numbers are:
UT Select (866) 882-2034
UT Connect (888) 399-8889
