Update for faculty and graduate students

The Government of Ontario has announced a province-wide shutdown effective 12:01 am Saturday, December 26th, 2020. This will impact Waterloo Region, and is expected to be in place for a minimum of 28 days. This critical measure, to limit the transmission of COVID-19 in our region and across the province, directly impacts the University of Waterloo campus.

Update for undergraduate students

• As you make your plans for the winter break, please follow government advice on how to stay safe this holiday season.  
• The safest way to spend the holidays is by only celebrating in person with the people you live with and celebrating virtually with everyone else. 
• If you must travel home for the holidays, reduce close contact with others 10 to 14 days before traveling. After the holiday break, do the same before coming back to Waterloo.
