Baylor students must test weekly for COVID-19. Those who keep missing tests could lose Wi-Fi access.

by Kate McGee, Texas Tribune


Baylor University has started COVID-19 testing on a weekly basis for every student, faculty and staff member, with the help of a new lab on campus.

The weekly tests will be required — making it one of the strictest and most comprehensive COVID-19 enforcement policies among Texas colleges and universities. Those who don’t comply could face penalties.

Students won’t be able to participate in any co-curricular activities for the rest of the semester after two missed tests. If they miss three tests, they’ll also lose Wi-Fi access on campus, with the goal of limiting student activity in campus buildings. After four missed tests, students could be suspended.

Students started getting tested this week as the spring semester began Tuesday.
