COVID-19 Testing Policy and Resources

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

Students requiring testing and/or more extensive medical care should contact UTA Health Services or their personal physicians. 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.

Where possible, on-campus residents who test positive for COVID-19 will complete their self-isolation at their permanent residence. Students who test positive for COVID-19 may resume engagement with the University community once past the CDC-recommended isolation period.

Faculty and staff seeking a COVID-19 test should contact their health care provider or local health department, or purchase a test from their local pharmacy. Those testing positive by diagnostic testing for COVID-19 should receive appropriate treatment and will be required to place themselves in self-isolation consistent with CDC guidance.

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
