Subject: What the extended COVID-19 shutdown and stay-at-home orders mean for spring term 2021
The provincial government previously announced a shutdown and stay-at-home order. This order has been extended for an additional two weeks, until May 20, 2021.
This affects the beginning of the spring academic term.
The extended shutdown restrictions will be the same as the restrictions currently in place under the previously announced measures; this includes current research activity restrictions.
Crossing the border into Ontario from another province is permitted for the purpose of moving to the Region or into residence on campus.
Please continue to follow all University safety protocols and to only attend campus for classes which are scheduled in-person. As we approach a period of heightened uncertainty, it is also important to take care of yourselves and each other. Help is available if you need it.
Thank you for your perseverance, patience and support as we all do our part to stop the spread.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
