Can you get a Covid test when you're asymptomatic?

My daughter's moving in at the University of South Carolina in a little over a week. The school is requiring every freshman to show up with proof of a negative Covid test or a positive antibody test with no symptoms. They won't let you move in without a test result. Problem is, I can't seem to find a way to get a Covid test unless you have symptoms. (Even the tests you order online and take at home have a questionnaire asking what symptoms you have.) It seems that the only way we can move her in is by lying and saying she has symptoms so we can get her tested. Anyone else have this problem?
