INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS RETURNING TO CAMPUS:

As of September 7, all students, faculty, staff, contractors and visitors must be fully vaccinated to attend campus or in-person university activities off campus, per the COVID-19 Vaccination policy. Individuals who are not fully vaccinated are required to participate in the rapid antigen testing program, regardless of any exemption that may apply.

As of October 18, individuals must have submitted full proof of vaccination or been approved for an exemption. The exemption must be related to medical, creed or other protected grounds recognized by Ontario's Human Rights Code. Individuals who have received an approved exemption from the university will continue to be required to participate in the rapid antigen testing program.

Individuals who have not submitted full proof of vaccination or received an approved exemption from the University as of October 18 will no longer be able to submit rapid antigen test results to access campus or in-person university activities off campus.

In addition to the required rapid antigen testing program for those who are not vaccinated, we are pleased to offer voluntary COVID-19 testing to vaccinated community members participating in higher risk activities, such as living in residence or participating in athletics. Voluntary testing is an added layer of protection that complements the various health and safety precautions already in place. Learn more about voluntary testing available on campus.

To learn more about requirements for accessing campus during the fall 2021 semester, as well as health and safety guidelines, please visit the University’s COVID-19 Information and Updates website.
