We are continuing to remind the university community about our face covering policy and the other health and safety policies and procedures they must follow when on campus through a variety of channels – mandatory training, signage, web updates, social media and our weekly What you Need to Know for Fall email digest. In addition to these reminders, our Special Constables and Student Safety Ambassadors will be on our campuses to remind people about our guidelines.
Understand your responsibilities while on campus and see what we’re doing to make sure you have a safe experience.
Whether you’re living on campus, in surrounding neighbourhoods, or are learning remotely, we all play a part in keeping our community safe.

Fall 2021 will be a blend of in-person and remote classes. We've added additional time between in-person classes for safe entry and exit, and mask protocols are also in place. Read the latest update or check out the 2021/22 timetable in LORIS.
Courses delivered in a classroom on campus will have a building and room location listed in LORIS under "Meeting Times," and in ScheduleMe beneath the campus listing. You can identify remote courses by looking for “Remote” under the building or room number. See Enrolment Services for more information.
We plan to return to regular in-person operations with minimal restrictions by the start of the winter 2022 term.
