Update for instructors in the Faculty of Engineering
Please see the attached memo from the VPAP concerning courses being taught this term, and the need to make contingency plans in case classes and exams are cancelled and have to move online.
University leaders have been in contact with Public Health authorities on this topic, and they have not recommended that people make changes to gatherings – large or small. At this time, you do not need to cancel or change your plans for large gatherings or any other meeting or event.
While the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve here in North America and globally, the risk for Canada and Waterloo Region remains low.
