Drop-in Testing   

A variety of tests are also available on a walk-in basis and do not require an order from a health care provider. Drop-in testing is ideal for students who do not have the Gold SHIP or BuffCare Plans. Payment is required at the time of service.  

 

 

Provider-Ordered Testing  

Your healthcare provider may order lab tests for you. Results can be sent to an outside provider upon request. 

 

 

 

Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Testing   

STI testing is available to CU students. Students can schedule an in-person or telehealth appointment to get testing recommendations, review results or order STI tests from the lab.
