Classes start Thursday, September 10. Labs and seminars begin the week of September 14. Confirm their official start dates in CourseLink.

Students who need to come to campus

If you don't need to be on campus, please stay home to help keep our community safe. We understand that you may need to come to campus for classes or labs or in special circumstances to access facilities like the library and Athletics Centre. 

Before you come to campus, you must:

• Review:
  • the Return to Campuses website and follow the steps on the Before You Return page
     
• Complete:
  • the COVID-19 Infection Prevention and Control Awareness Training course 
  • the U of G COVID-19 Screening Form daily before coming to campus. Follow the screening form's guidance and do not come to campus if you are directed to stay home. 
     
• Wear:
  • a face covering when you're on campus

It's also important to:

• Download:
  • the Government of Canada's COVID Alert app
  • the SafeGryphon app for quick access to the U of G COVID-19 Screening Form
     
• Review:
  • dining options on campus to know where you'll eat. U of G's food outlets are now cashless. Pay with debit, credit or your U of G meal card/student ID.
     
• Update:
  • your mobile devices so you can access U of G's secure WiFi

Students participating in remote learning

As you get ready to hit the books next week, the following resources might help:

• Make the most of your remote learning.
  • Get ready to learn remotely - learn about etiquette and expectations, participating remotely, taking notes and accessibility
  • Improve your online learning, testing and presentation 
  • Access library supports and resources from home
     
• Don't forget to order your textbooks and course materials and plan to have them shipped or make an appointment to pick them up on campus.

Students participating in face-to-face classes

Before your first day of class, make sure you have completed the training course and screening form mentioned at the start of this email.

You'll also need to review:

• the Fall Classroom Health and Safety Protocols
• the Research Phase-In Framework if you're participating in on-campus labs

Don't forget to:

• arrive at least 15 minutes before your classes start to line up and sanitize your learning space
• order your textbooks and course materials and plan to have them shipped, or make an appointment to pick them up on campus

The semester ahead will be like no other we have experienced before. But together, we've got this, Gryphons! We're Set for September!
