COVID-19 Screening Process

We ask that you help us take proactive steps to ensure a rapid and hassle-free screening process. We also ask that you assist your loved ones (parents, grandparents, spouses, significant others, and anyone else planning to attend the ceremony) in doing the same.

Attendees are reminded that masking and distancing are still required, regardless of screening results or of immunization status.

Screening Options

Option 1 (Preferred Option)

Download the 1-Check UNO app (for students, faculty, and staff) or the CheckCOVID app (for guests). Perform a screening on the app on the day of commencement and be ready to show your green “low” status with date/time stamp.

Alternatively, access the web-based version of the app, perform the screen, print the results, and bring those printed results to Baxter Arena.

The venue entrance is not the time or place for new users to familiarize themselves with the app. Take a few screenings in the days leading up to commencement to get comfortable.

UNO Community | How to Access the App:

• Download – Apple iOS
• Download – Android
• Web-based Version

Guests | How to Access the App:

Option 2 (Less Desirable Option)

Those who do not choose the above option will be subject to verbal screening at Baxter Arena, potentially delaying entrance into the ceremony.

Verbal Screening Questions:

• Do you have a fever or chills?
• Do you have a new or worsening cough?
• Are you experiencing new or worsening shortness of breath?
• Have you recently lost your sense of taste or smell?
• Are you aware of having contact with a COVID-positive individual in the past 14 days?
