Testing & Vaccine
Free COVID Test Kits
All South Dakota Mines Students
The SD Dept. of Health is offering convenient at-home COVID-19 testing kits, available at no cost to all South Dakota Mines students (resident, non-resident, and international). To order, see the December 23 email message from the Dean of Students
that includes a personalized website link and instructions on when to test.
Faculty and Staff
The Dept. of Health provides this same at-home testing kit free of charge to all South Dakota residents. This can be ordered online here. You do not need to have symptoms to be tested.
Vaccine
The latest information from the SD Dept. of Health does not yet indicate a specific timeline for when COVID vaccines will be available for students, faculty, and staff. We are not anticipating the vaccine to be available to us before February or March
2021. The majority of the campus community is grouped into level 1-D on this
chart.
Continued COVID-19 vaccine information will be posted to this site as it becomes available.
