Dear Drexel Students and Colleagues,
As of 6 p.m. today, Dec. 14, the Drexel Health Checker App will cease operation and a revised Drexel Health Checker will launch to better meet your needs. This new version of the Drexel Health Checker will be web-based only, located on Drexel’s secure platform. You will be required to log in using your Drexel ID in “abc123” format.
After 6 p.m. today, you can log in to the new Health Checker to:
- Schedule a COVID test at Drexel.
- Receive your COVID test result.
- Report an outside test result.
- Upload proof of COVID vaccination to meet Drexel’s vaccine requirements.
- Apply for COVID vaccine exemption if you meet medical or religious requirements.
Access the new version of the Drexel Health Checker.
How the Transition Will Take Place
At 6 p.m., the Drexel Health Checker App and the existing web version of the Health Checker will stop working and the new version will become live and available for use. Please bookmark the new Drexel Health Checker in your web browser and delete the Health Checker App from your phone.
All your information from the older Drexel Health Checker App and online platform will be securely transferred to the new platform, including old test results, vaccine records, and upcoming testing appointments. This means that if you have already made a testing appointment using the Drexel Health Checker, you do not need to reschedule your test, and your test results will be available in the new Health Checker platform.
