DIAGNOSIS AND RESPONSE The information below addresses COVID-19 testing, medical resources, quarantine situations, and response plans in the event of COVID-19 cases or an outbreak on campus.
Testing If an individual is showing symptoms or is concerned based on exposure to COVID-19, they should seek testing. Procedures will be implemented to assist our community members with gaining access to testing as requested. The Hennepin Healthcare facility at 900 S. 8th Street is across the street from North Central University and offers testing for COVID-19 on both an appointment and walk-up basis. If you cannot afford a test, contact NCU at covid19@northcentral.edu for confidential financial assistance.
Medical resources North Central University’s proximity to the Hennepin Healthcare Clinic and Specialty Center, 715 S. 8th Street in Minneapolis, just one block from campus, provides ready access to a world-class medical facility. NCU has spoken with Hennepin Healthcare administration and confirmed the clinic is available to serve NCU community members on a walk-in, appointment, or urgent care basis.
Positive COVID-19 results While we are working hard to promote a healthy and safe campus environment, North Central University is also prepared to care for the needs of students who may have been exposed to, or who test positive for, COVID-19. The plans below will serve as guides as we seek to meet individual health needs and protect the safety of the campus community; due to a variety of variables, each situation will be assessed individually and handled accordingly.
