COVID-19 testing is required before you can participate in a Learn 2 Ride class on campus.

Any one of the following options will fulfill SUNY requirements:

• • Bring proof of a negative COVID test administered no more than 5 days prior to your on-campus class. --OR--
  • Participate in MCC's pooled testing (see below), and present electronic confirmation of participation when you arrive for class. (This confirmation can be found in the profile section of your SUNY online registration). --OR--
  • Present your Department of Health Release Form received after a positive diagnostic result for COVID-19. (Example: if diagnostic result was dated up to, but not exceeding, 90 days before the date of your class at MCC, you would not need to COVID test before coming to class.)
  • NOTE: The fact that you have been vaccinated for COVID does not meet SUNY requirements at this time. You still need to COVID test. Rapid test results are accepted.

MCC Pooled Testing Information:

• • Your driver's license.
  • Your Learn 2 Ride course registration confirmation, which you will present to Public Safety at the check-in desk. You should also indicate that you are an MCC student. You will be asked the typical COVID-19 screening questions, and then be directed to the COVID-19 pooled testing site.
  • Your cell phone, so you can access the SUNY Upstate website.

• • If your class is scheduled for Monday/Tuesday, you should pool test the week before.
  • If your class is scheduled for Thursday/Friday or Saturday/Sunday, you should pool test the week of your class.
  • MCC staff will be on site to assist you with the online SUNY registration and/or answer any questions.
  • You will not receive test results; you will only be notified if you are in a positive pool.
