  2. At-home antigen tests will be available for purchase at the Student Health Center for students only.
  3. PCR rapid testing will be available for students at the Student Health Center for students, and a charge for the test will be applied to student accounts. You can call the SHC for current pricing at 936-294-1805.

If you feel sick:
