On Thursday, July 23 the following email was sent to incoming graduate students for fall 2020

To: Incoming graduate students

From: Jeffrey Casello, Associate-Vice President, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA)

Subject: update on campus activities

As the University of Waterloo continues to plan for the fall 2020, below are some updates that were recently shared with the University of Waterloo community and that may also impact you, as incoming graduate students:

• Phase 2 of the research restart has been expanded with greater opportunities to conduct research on campus – read the full details on the University of Waterloo COVID-19 webpage

Action to take for research-based master’s and doctoral students: If you wish to engage in on-campus research activity during the fall 2020 term, you are encouraged to speak to your supervisor to assess whether the planned research meets the return to campus criteria.

• As of July 27, face coverings will be required on campus – read the full details

As the next phases of access to university research facilities evolve, I will be sending further email updates and you can continue to visit the central University of Waterloo COVID-19 website.  I also encourage you to connect with the University of Waterloo community by accessing Waterloo Grad Ready; a program to help you, as an incoming student, succeed at the University of Waterloo.
