Free COVID-19 test kits available for NIC students and employees
For no contact pickup, the test kits are available to be picked up from a rack outside the main door of the Mail/Copy Center, which is in the Siebert Building. The main door faces Rosenberry Drive and is across from one of the NIC Beach restrooms. Tests can also be delivered via campus mail. To order, email copy_center@nic.edu.Each test kit includes instructions, a link to an app/website and a pre-paid envelope to return the test in. The tests can be sent back by placing them in any UPS drop box. Test results are typically available within 48 hours of package mailing.
The tests can also be returned on NIC's main campus by placing them in one of the two mailboxes on campus. There is a mailbox at Boswell Hall, near the side door that leads out to the courtyard between the Sherman and Hedlund Buildings. The other mailbox is in front of the SUB. Mail/Copy Center personnel retrieve the mail from these locations and will pull out the COVID-19 test envelopes to be picked up by UPS.
Tests are also available at Parker Technical Education Center and the Workforce Training Center.
All NIC students and employees who have tested positive for COVID-19, have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19 or who have symptoms of COVID-19 are asked to call Rapid-Trace at (813) 699-3551 to self-report.
