COVID-19 Resources

Thank you for your continued commitment to protecting our campus community and ensuring we all have a healthy and safe environment in which to learn, teach, and work.

Do your part to maintain a healthy campus:

  • Stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccinations as you become eligible.
  • Get your seasonal influenza vaccine.
  • Wash your hands often and for at least 20 seconds or make use of one of the many hand sanitizer stations on our campuses.
  • Stay home when feeling ill.

Vaccination clinics

The University is planning to hold periodic vaccination clinics for students, faculty, and staff. Watch for details.

Masks

Masks continue to be welcome on campus, especially in areas like classrooms or meeting rooms, where you may be in close contact with others.

Free masks are available at the entrances of the Administrative Humanities, Centre for Kinesiology and Health Studies, Education, Riddell Centre, John Archer Library, Campus Security entrance, and College Avenue Campus buildings.
