CMU COVID-19 Vaccine Data, Case Numbers and Testing
More than 98% of CMU's students, faculty and staff are vaccinated. View the dashboard for additional information related to CMU's vaccine database, case numbers, testing and more.
Tartan Testing
Tartan Testing is Carnegie Mellon's testing program for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in asymptomatic individuals and is an important element of the university's ongoing strategy to detect and prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our community.
Tartan Testing is located in TCS Hall.
Who Must Participate Weekly in Tartan Testing
- Students who are in process of becoming fully vaccinated (including booster dose when eligible) or those students who have been exempted from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement or facial covering requirement
- Faculty/staff who have not uploaded their vaccination information to the university’s Vaccine Database or who have been exempted from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement
In addition, the university recommends getting tested after travel.
The test takes less than 15 minutes and same-day appointments are often available. Tartan Testing is also available for fully vaccinated (including booster dose when eligible) CMU community members who desire a weekly test. All individuals, regardless of vaccination status, who are visiting Tartan Testing are required to wear a high-quality, well-fitting facial covering indoors.
