If a lecture or lab required for my specialization is only offered in the Fall and it does not run in-person this Fall, how can I expect to graduate "on time" by April 2021?

Starting September, we will continue to deliver all large courses online although we hope some elements such as clinical programs, labs or tutorials will be available in person. Though the COVID-19 situation may change throughout the term, all large classes will stay online throughout fall term. Please note that we will support your academic progress, no matter where you are. 
 
We are working on a plan for some activity to happen in-person, if the conditions allow. This could mean clinical programs, smaller undergraduate classes or seminars and research-based graduate students working in labs. Any in-person activity will meet strict guidelines for physical distancing and other public health requirements. 

Faculties and departments are working on contingency plans to allow students to complete their programs as efficiently as possible.
