Use your head, stop the spread

Do your part to keep classes on and COVID-19 away from campus — follow the guidelines and use your head, stop the spread.

Keep it up, keep us safe

Monitor yourself for COVID-19 symptoms every day — don’t come to campus if you have even minor symptoms.
If you’re scheduled to be on campus, read and complete the Daily Campus Access Form — and be honest.
If you’re waiting for your COVID-test results, you’ll need to have a negative test result before you can return to campus.
Isolate or quarantine as necessary — it’s the law! Don’t stress about missing lab time or exams due to illness, we’ll work with you to make it up.
Stay two metres apart — avoid crowds, limit close contact.
Practice good hygiene — wash/sanitize your hands often, cover your cough/sneeze.
Wear a mask — masks are required inside on campus, everywhere, every time.

There’s no shame in being sick — take pride in protecting your classmates, colleagues and our community.
