How to Test Current Tracking on a Website
The U-M COVID-19 Community Sampling and Tracking Program (CSTP) is a free, asymptomatic testing program for all U-M students, faculty and staff on the Ann Arbor campus.
CSTP testing meets the weekly mandatory testing requirement as outlined under the U-M COVID-19 Vaccination Policy.
- To report that you have received all doses of a vaccine series, submit information via the COVID-19 Vaccination Completed form.
- To report that you have received one dose of a two-dose vaccine series, submit information via the Partial COVID-19 Vaccination form.
SIGN UP IN 2 EASY STEPS
- Register by completing a brief survey.

View campus testing locations and hours.
- Participants must show their Mcard or photo ID. Tests will not be administered to individuals without a photo ID.
- Registration must be completed once every semester by 5pm the day before your first test appointment.
The program is not a replacement for symptomatic testing or medical care. Individuals with symptoms of COVID-19 or a close contact exposure should contact:
- Faculty and staff: Occupational Health Services
- Students: University Health Service
Mandatory Testing for Students
Students who do not submit proof of vaccination and/or who are not considered fully vaccinated are required to participate in weekly COVID-19 testing. Weekly COVID-19 testing must be administered by University Health Service (UHS: symptomatic) or the Community Sampling and Tracking Program (CSTP: asymptomatic).
The CSTP Program and the ResponsiBLUE App
The ResponsiBLUE App provides all students with their COVID-19 testing status by noting the date of their last test through U-M testing programs. Students will either have a "COMPLETED" or "EXPIRED" status displayed on their screen at the end of the symptom check process. Please note that there is an approximate 2-hour delay between CSTP testing and your ResponsiBLUE app status changing to 'COMPLETED.' ResponsiBLUE does not show test results; you will receive an email with information on how to access your results from LynxDx 48-72 hours after your test. Download/update the app to ensure you have the latest version.

About the Program
- Saliva-based test is being offered through the U-M startup company LynxDx in partnership with UHS.
- Participants are required to be asymptomatic (have no symptoms) with no recent close-contact exposures at the time they complete their test.
- Program participants should not eat or drink within 30 minutes of their test time.
- Results are emailed and texted to participants within 1-2 calendar days.
- Individuals who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 (with a PCR test) in the last 90 days are not eligible to participate (tests can remain positive for up to 90 days after an initial infection, and would likely not represent a reinfection).
- The program is made possible with support from the School of Public Health and University Health Service.
- For questions, please email covid19sampling@umich.edu.

Sampling & Tracking FAQs
General FAQs
CSTP provides a saliva-based RT-qPCR test to participants. Participants will be asked to provide a small saliva sample in a test tube and follow protocols provided at the indoor testing sites. CSTP saliva tests have 95% sensitivity and 99% specificity. This means there is less than a 1% chance of false positives, and less than a 5% chance of false negatives despite being infected with COVID-19
CSTP test results are sent within 1-2 days; however, CSTP is unable to guarantee rapid test results or rush test results. We recommend working with your primary care provider or UHS for quicker results and documentation for travel. If you'd still like to get tested through CSTP, please schedule your appointment at the 1310 North University Court Building CSTP testing site.
An indeterminate/invalid result has no association with whether or not your sample contained SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Instead, an invalid test can result from a variety of causes, including too much saliva within the tube or eating foods/drinking colored fluids too soon before the test. Please be sure to avoid eating or drinking liquids other than water at least 30 minutes in advance of your test.
No, our current testing method requires that sample collection must be observed by program personnel.
If you have a positive result, you will be contacted by UHS or OHS with that information and for instructions on next steps. You will be asked to isolate following CDC and public health guidelines.
On and off-campus isolation spaces will be identified for use by any U-M student who needs isolation. Students also may choose to isolate with their families at home. More details about student isolation is available here.
Yes. CSTP testing is free of charge to all U-M and Michigan Medicine students, faculty and staff. There is no out-of-pocket cost associated with your test and test result. Your insurance will not be billed.
No. If you are a student who is experiencing symptoms on your test day or if you have had a recent close-contact exposure to someone with COVID-19 please contact UHS for an online assessment. Employees can contact OHS or their individual provider. Do not come to the Community Sampling and Tracking Program location if you are experiencing symptoms.
No, CSTP participation is limited to U-M and Michigan Medicine students, faculty and staff only. We recommend taking a look at Washtenaw County Health Department's website here, which keeps a frequently updated list of testing options available to the community!
No, it is not necessary to get tested and schedule your weekly asymptomatic COVID-19 test appointment if you have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and submitted your documentation on Wolverine Access.
If you have received one dose in a two-dose series, you can report your partial vaccination and continue to schedule your weekly asymptomatic COVID-19 test appointment. If you would like to request a medical or religious exemption, you may submit that here and schedule your weekly asymptomatic COVID-19 test appointment.
No. Food, colored drinks, and mouthwash cannot be consumed in the 20 minutes prior to sample collection. Drinking water is permitted. If you arrive at the testing station within 20 minutes of eating, please drink water and return 20 minutes later to collect your saliva sample.
LynxDx will complete diagnostic SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing and return your test result directly to you via email and text message. When your test results are available, you will receive an email and text alert with a link to view the result. Individuals with a positive test result will be contacted by University Health Service or Occupational Health Services for follow-up and instructions on next steps.
When you test with CSTP, you may download an official results PDF from the online results portal. After opening your results using the LynxDx link, you will have the option to create an account with LynxDx and download the form with your results.
Tests will be sent to LynxDx at the end of the testing day. Test turnaround time is approximately 1-2 calendar days.
Yes. If you are returning from international or domestic travel please get tested with CSTP after registering and scheduling an appointment at our 1310 North University Court Building testing location. If you are unvaccinated, please test 3-5 days after travel and self-quarantine for a full 7 days with a negative test result, or 10 days if not testing.

Reasonable accommodations and testing assistance are provided to CSTP participants by our trained staff.
