COVID-19 Testing

SIU students, faculty and staff have the following testing options.

Students, faculty and staff without symptoms:
Testing is available each Tuesday from noon to 4 p.m. at Grinnell Hall.
Students with symptoms:
Call 618-453-3311 to schedule an appointment with the Student Health Center.
Faculty and staff, with symptoms:
Reach out to your health care provider or to SIH. Appointments can be scheduled online or by phone. Register for a drive-through appointment.

Important:

Appointments are required and may be made here: drive-through testing.
Bring your insurance card, driver’s license and SIU ID. No student, faculty or staff member will be turned away at the SIH drive-through testing or Student Health Center due to lack of coverage.
Individuals with symptoms must self-quarantine until they receive further instructions and should not go to class or come to work.
Test results are anticipated within 24 to 48 hours; you will be contacted with results.
All students and employees must follow directives of the IDPH to isolate or assist with contact tracing.
If you get voicemail when calling the SIH-SIU hotline (844-988-7800) during regular business hours, leave a message with your phone number and you will receive a return call.

Testing is provided through a grant-funded partnership between the Jackson County Health Department, Southern Illinois Healthcare and SIU Carbondale.
