On-Campus Testing
Testing clinics are scheduled regularly to accommodate the needs of our faculty, staff and students. On-campus testing takes place at the Center for Health and Well-Being, and is conducted using a self-administered nasal swab.
Reporting Your COVID-19 Test Result
If you were tested at a non-university location, please upload your test result to MyHealthSpace. Login using your UofSC username and password and then on the next screen your date of birth. Click on Medical Clearances and then locate COVID Return Test and click the Green Update button. Attach a copy of your results under COVID-19 Test Results Upload and complete the date and the result in the appropriate category (Antibody test, PCR test, or Rapid Antigen test). Click Done.
If you do not have the Upload Test Result option, please follow the directions below:
- In the left navigation, go to “Messages”
- Click on the “New Message” box
- You will see a list of options, including one that says, “I want to upload COVID-19 Test Results”
- Select that item and it will generate a message box and an “Add Attachment” button for you to upload your report
If you will not be returning to the Columbia campus, despite a face-to-face or hybrid label on one or more of your classes, you can request a testing exemption for the spring 2021 semester. Login to MyHealthSpace using your UofSC username and password and then on the next screen your date of birth. Click on Downloadable Forms and scroll down to the UofSC COVID Testing Exemption Request. Complete and re-upload this form to request your testing exemption.
Diagnostic Testing
We are offering student, faculty and staff initial COVID-19 diagnostic testing by
appointment. Additional testing is only recommended if a person is exhibiting symptoms
of COVID-19 or has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive. Please call the Coronavirus Phone Bank at 803-576-8511 to report any technical issues
or concerns regarding uploading test results to MyHealthSpace.

A variety of reputable healthcare providers throughout the Midlands offer diagnostic testing dates and locations around the Columbia community.
Antibody Testing
UofSC is asking students, faculty and staff for their help to determine how widespread COVID-19 has been in our community by getting a no cost antibody test.
