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.
Whether you are a student local to Waterloo, from other areas across Ontario and Canada, or have travelled from another country to join us – your experience of Waterloo isn’t what you hoped it would be due to the impacts of COVID-19. Thank you for persevering with us through these difficult times.
We are preparing to return to in-person learning on February 7. This means that most of you will be learning in classrooms and labs on one of our four campuses very soon.
Our recent survey of employees, together with feedback you have been giving to your supervisors, managers and department heads, has made it very clear that the pandemic has placed extra strain on us all.
We are enormously grateful to every employee who has done so much to keep the University working in support of our students over the course of the pandemic. Whether you are an instructor juggling changing modes of learning, a central plant worker monitoring ventilation systems, a recruiter meeting excited prospects online or a lab technician keeping essential systems running – all of us have experienced repeated challenges and changes over the last couple of years.
