Public Health guidance and University of Waterloo operations may have changed. For the most up-to-date information, please visit our COVID-19 frequently asked questions.
I have been pleased to welcome the Waterloo community back for the fall term, whether it is virtually or on campus. As we continue into the term it is important to remember that it is our shared responsibility to protect each other. Each of us has an important part to play in limiting the risk of COVID-19 and maintaining safety both on and off campus.
I know you are working very hard and giving it your all with your studies and work. But we must not let our guard down. COVID-19 still poses a risk to you and our community. And so we must take this shared responsibility very seriously.
Over the last several weeks, we have continued to expand controlled access to the campus for some students and employees. As COVID-19 cases begin to rise again it is as important as ever that all of us in our University community play a part in limiting the spread of the virus, whether we are on campus or not.
We have learned from global public health experts that as the pandemic continues, it is important to move to messaging that reinforces the need to protect the safety of our communities, not just ourselves. Please consider how you can play a role in sharing information and reinforcing safety messaging to our students – and to one another – about ways in which we can protect our community.
As recently announced, winter term delivery will be primarily online to continue to protect public health, and we have begun preparing the course selection process.
