Dear Hudson Valley Community Member,
If you are present on campus, consider participating in Pooled Surveillance Testing: Siek Campus Center (first floor) — 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
You are strongly encouraged to participate in the college’s weekly pooled surveillance testing, which has been implemented to help keep our campus safe and stop the spread of COVID-19. The testing method is non-invasive and consists of a simple saliva sample you can take with a mouth swab.
What do I do next?
To schedule an appointment at the next available test day, go to: http://covidtest.hvcc.edu.
Prior to your test, you must create a COVID-19 surveillance testing account that will help track your individual sample. Information gathered for your account is for SUNY use only — no information will be provided to an external party.
You can begin the account registration process at http://register.suny-covid.com/.
Please Note: Some students might not have access to answers for all of the requested questions. We ask that you complete as much of the surveillance testing account registration as possible prior to your scheduled test. A college representative at the testing site will, if needed, help you fill out the remainder of the questions in the form.
Day of Testing
On the day and time of your testing, you must:
- Have at least started the registration process and be able to access your account online using your personal mobile device (e.g. smartphone, tablet).
- Bring your Hudson Valley ID card or driver’s license and your personal mobile device with you.
More Information
Once you schedule an appointment using system noted above, you’ll receive a confirmation email that includes further directions on what you need to do prior to testing. The college’s COVID-19 information page also offers more information about what the testing entails.
Any questions regarding testing also can be directed to staff in the College Health Services at (518) 629-7468 or healthservice@hvcc.edu.
Thank you for participating in this voluntary effort to help keep our campus community safe!
Sincerely,
Claudine Potvin-Giordano, MA, BSN, RN
Director, College Health Services
