Units have the discretion when it comes to physical distancing in their areas, particularly where masks may be removed (such as lunchrooms, events with food/drinking, and individuals at workstations 2 metres apart).
Before coming to campus:
The University paused the requirement to be fully vaccinated on May 1, 2022. Please note this requirement may be reinstated on short notice should public health conditions or guidance change.
UCheck continues to be available for uploading proof of vaccination and boosters but other aspects of the program have been paused. Those seeking vaccination appointments can refer to the provincial vaccination portal or visit the UTogether vaccine site.
Completing a health screening before coming to campus is highly recommended, and we continue to ask members of our community to remain at home if they aren’t feeling well.
In light of the recent provincial trends, the University will continue its requirement to wear masks in certain settings until June 30, 2022, in accordance with the Joint Provostial and Human Resources Guideline on Face Masks.
Masks will continue to be required in classrooms and in indoor spaces where physical distancing cannot be maintained. The University continues to recommend the use of medical-grade masks where possible.
In addition, individuals in specific circumstances may continue to be required to wear masks in all settings, subject to changes in provincial or federal requirements, such as those who have been recently exposed to COVID-19 or to someone with symptoms.
Even in settings where masks may not be required because physical distancing can be maintained, we ask everyone to always respect the decisions of others, their comfort levels and health needs. It is vitally important that, even with the easing of provincial measures, we remain vigilant, conscientious and show kindness to one another.
The University recommends the use of medical masks, also called surgical or procedural masks. When purchasing a medical mask for everyday use, look for a rating of ASTM Level 2 or 3. ASTM stands for American Society for Testing and Materials.
Medical masks are regularly available for purchase on our campuses at such places as:
