UTA Health Services continues to offer free COVID-19 testing for students. New appointment times are available 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday, Dec. 21, at the Maverick Activities Center.

The American College Health Association recommends students be tested for COVID prior to traveling for the upcoming semester break. Please note, the CDC does not recommend testing if you have already tested positive in the preceding three months and do not currently have symptoms.

There are a limited number of spots available, so an appointment is required. Students can schedule an appointment through the MavCare Patient Portal at mavcare.uta.edu. Follow registration instructions.

You will receive notification of your results two to three days after your appointment.

If you cannot make your appointment, please cancel through mavcare.uta.edu.

For any questions, email hsic@uta.edu or call 817-272-2771, option 1.
