The testing is free but anyone who wants a test needs to register here. Part of that registration will be a virtual screening tool to see if they are eligible for a COVID-19 test. Those determined to be eligible will pick a testing location and appointment time, and will need to complete some paperwork via email.

The tests run from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 30th and Friday, May 1st at the CU Space Sciences Building at 3665 Discovery Drive in Boulder.

"We are grateful to King Soopers and the Colorado State Emergency Operations Center for making the free testing available in our community," CU Boulder Chancellor Philip DiStefano said in a news release. "We are pleased we can host the drive-through testing on our campus for the community at large."
