Dear CalArts Staff,
An important part of our COVID safety and wellness protocols is free testing for faculty, students and staff. Staff approved for exemptions from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine must be tested once per week (twice a week before performances). Students, faculty, and staff approved for medical or religious exemptions will be required to submit a weekly testing form.
Staff who have symptoms or believe they may have been exposed are also encouraged to register for a free test.
Testing will take place Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at The Lodge (a trailer located by the E-Block first floor entrance and near the Theater, Dance and Critical Studies offices, and just south of the Facilities loading dock). Signs will be placed around campus helping direct you to the test site.
I encourage you to register for a test in advance. Please note, you only need to enter your information one time and then it will be stored for subsequent test dates. If you do not register in advance, you are required to bring your insurance information with you to receive a test.
Thank you for helping keep our community safe and well.
Bridgette Monique Wilder
Vice President | Chief Human Resources Officer
