COVID-19 Testing on Rocklin Campus

Sierra College offers a COVID-19 testing center on the Rocklin campus (J Building – Fireside Room).

During the Spring Semester, the testing center is open Monday through Friday. This is a walk-in testing site (no appointments needed).

If you are experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms you should get tested at the COVID-19 testing center before reporting to your in-person classroom. Generally, results are available in approximately 30 minutes or less, depending on the number of individuals testing and the results are emailed directly to you.
