Testing schedule on campus

Plan ahead and sign-up for your test appointment today insead.synlab.fr

Testing will take place on campus (CII Building) on Monday and Thursday. Testing in Paris will take place every other Tuesday. You can find other SynLab testing centres with SynLabs Global Locator here.

The test must be taken preferably less than 72 hours (but never more than 96 hours) prior to accessing the campus. Please also note that re-testing is mandatory during a programme if its duration is longer than 7 days.

If you choose to take a test off-campus you are required to complete a sworn statement found in INSEADs Fontainebleau Testing Policy. We invite you to read the Testing Policy in detail to ensure you have the complete information including what and how to submit your testing certificate.

It is best to test before arriving on campus and to limit your interactions with other students or colleagues prior to receiving your test results. This will provide a greater chance of you not becoming a suspect case and subsequently having to carry out a 14 day isolation period.

In Abu Dhabi masks continue to be mandatory when people go outside their homes. Likewise, mask wearing will be required, except when eating and drinking, on the Middle East campus.

A negative RT-PCR test result is mandatory for all students/participants before they can access the INSEAD Middle East campus. The test must be taken preferably less than 72 hours (but never more than 96 hours) prior to accessing the campus. Please also note that re-testing is mandatory during a programme if its duration is longer than 7 days. It will be required weekly or half-way in the programme for all people on campus, ensuring there is only a maximum of 7 days between the first and second test. 

Your partner is welcome on campus provided they complete the same requirements as for our student population. Should they wish to come, they must send an e-mail to Asia [email protected] / Europe [email protected] and they will receive information on the required steps to take prior to arriving on campus.  

Further information on COVID-19 Student/Participant Policies will be circulated early in the week commencing 31 August 2020.

We have heard from a number of US schools that they will be delivering purely online or with very limited engagement on campus.  We do not want this to happen because of reasons that are under our own control. This means being vigilant about wearing a mask and social distancing both on-campus as well as off-campus, too. This is a delicate situation and we can only deliver in-person teaching and allow access to campus if everyone follows the rules.  I know it is not ideal, but it is our best chance to be one of the few business schools open and allowing our community members to engage in-person.
