Moving in during COVID-19
Important changes have been made to the move-in process due to COVID-19. It is expected that everyone in residence spaces wear a non-medical mask in all indoor public areas. Disposable masks are available at the front desk for those that do not have them. Social distancing rules in effect - gatherings of 2-4 people must practice appropriate physical distancing as outlined by Health Canada or it will be instructed to end. If you are travelling from outside of Canada, current regulations require you to self-quarantine for 14 days prior to move in day and provide a self-isolation plan. For more information and to help you plan your isolation, visit the International Student Services page.
