You may have heard that UMPI is transitioning to T3 asymptomatic testing as part of our COVID-19 testing efforts. We've set up this page to help walk you through the process. Please note that our Houlton Higher Education Center will continue to use Vault testing through the end of the spring semester.
Before you participate in your first saliva-based screening, you will need to download and set up the Safer Community App by Rokmetro.
The UMS Safer Community App is the most convenient, most secure, and most direct tool for managing your COVID-19 testing. You will use this app to:
- Schedule your testing
- Find available testing locations
- Check in at your testing location
- Receive your test results
For testing to go smoothly, everyone selected for participation needs to download and use it.
The Safer Community App supports Single-Sign-On, meaning you should be able to log in with your @maine.edu email address and password.
Once you have logged in, you’ll need to toggle a few settings and provide some personal information, which is protected as explained in the app's privacy policy. Don't worry--there will be testing helpers on site if you have any questions during this process.
If you need assistance with installing and setting up the Safer Community App, please see the University of Maine System's Step-by-Step User’s Guide.
What we need from you is clear
The Shield T3 COVID-19 asymptomatic test requires a 1 milliliter to 1.5 milliliter saliva sample.
