Adding / Changing Staff or Faculty Testing Groups

Please reach out to your divisional representative below to add an individual to the University's testing program, or change an individual's testing group in the program.

If you are requesting a new hire in the testing program, they must have an appointment in Aurora with a HUID to be added into the testing program. Please request a testing group for your new hires before their start date / first day on campus. 

If you have an employee terminate from the University, the action of processing their termination will also remove them from the testing program, so long as they have no other active appointments at the University.

Adding / Changing POI Testing Groups

Department Administrators may submit POI COVID Testing Information by filling out the POI testing template and emailing it to iam_help@harvard.edu. Files are typically turned around in 1-2 business days.  You can also review the POI Testing Info Job Aid on HTP for FAQs. 

POIs will be automatically removed from testing one week following the expiration of all their active roles. Department administrators will no longer need to submit any documentation to remove a POI from the testing program. Note: if a POI has another employee/staff/appointment role, the POI will remain in the testing program.
