This message was originally sent to graduate students by Jeffrey Casello, associate vice-president, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA).
As the University community continues to collectively respond to unprecedented circumstances, I thank you for your ongoing resiliency and dedication to your research and academics.
While requests for access to research laboratories are being accommodated through the online system, I am aware that many of you are keen to access on campus facilities outside of research labs. To facilitate campus access, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA), the Associate Deans from each Faculty, and the Safety Office have developed a web page that serves as a common starting point for you to request access to campus for academic activities other than lab-related research. I encourage you to review the information, which includes a common set of considerations and criteria that will be used to vet the requests received from you and your supervisor.
As always, your safety and the safety of our University community remains our top priority. Recognizing our shared responsibility to keep each other safe, the University has created resources to keep all of us safe, including the return to campus safety guide and health and safety details on the COVID-19 information website. Together, as a campus community, we continue to be Waterloo Warriors, and protect each other.
As always, we are here to support you – if you want to discuss your request, please contact your faculty specific point of contact or send me an email.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
