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.
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.
As part of our staged return to campus plans for Fall term, we are sharing details of a three-point approach to supporting the health and safety of our campus community.
We have developed a tool called Campus Check-In that will help us monitor campus building occupancy levels and assist with contact tracing COVID-19 cases in our campus communities.
This tool allows us to follow up with effective contact tracing should there be any positive cases of COVID-19 on our campus.
Campus Checkin also includes a requirement for everyone to conduct a self-assessment before coming to campus. Effective, September 8, 2020, you must record every visit to campus buildings using Campus Check-In.
