To the Campus Community:

Happy September, TCNJ. I write to share new information regarding our COVID-19 testing arrangements.

Some members of the college community have asked whether they may choose to be tested on campus for COVID-19 if they are vaccinated and without symptoms and believe they may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19. I am pleased to report that starting Wednesday, September 15, the college will provide this option for all faculty, staff, and students. Testing hours and instructions for registration (for those who are new to the Bergen New Bridge system) will be sent later today under separate cover from our testing coordinator.

In the meantime, let me use this opportunity to remind everyone that sustaining our current levels of normalcy requires that everyone fully comply with TCNJ’s Fall 2021 protocol. Please review our website and heed emails describing health and safety rules and practices. As I and others have said previously, the college will continue to monitor conditions and will alter rules accordingly to promote a healthy campus for all.

Thank you for your continued attention to our COVID-19 arrangements and for your ongoing commitment to campus and community health.

Best wishes for a productive and uplifting semester.

Kathryn A. Foster
