Your Classroom Experience

We've gathered some key tips to keep you and your classmates safe while in the classroom.

  • Masks are required in classrooms.
  • Limit the personal items you bring to class. Bring only the materials you need.
  • Food is not permitted in classrooms, but you are allowed to temporarily remove your mask if you need a drink.
  • There is no required physical distancing requirements for indoor or outdoor instructional spaces.
  • Students will be able to sanitize their workspace or classroom materials prior to use and supplies will be provided. Classrooms will be cleaned and disinfected by Laurier at the end of each day.
  • Try to arrive no more than five to 10 minutes before your class begins to minimize time spent in lobbies, hallways, and other small common areas.
  • New and updated study spaces are available in both Brantford and Waterloo.
