We’re closely following public health measures, but if you are coming to campus, we need your help to minimize any risks. Below is a quick list of the essentials: what you need to know about campus safety protocols before and during a visit to U of A campuses.
Full, detailed campus safety protocols can be found in the University of Alberta Safety Measures General Directives.
Get vaccinated
Starting September 1, you will need to confidentially self-declare your vaccination status before coming to U of A campuses. Learn more about the U of A & vaccinations.
Take the campus safety eCourse
There's a required short 10-minute online course for all students, staff and faculty participating in on-campus activities.
Do a health check
If you’re feeling sick, stay home, notify your supervisor or instructor, and follow Alberta Health Services advice. COVID-19 sick protocols are part of the U of A’s rapid response Plan.
Bring a mask
Non-medical face masks must be worn in all public indoor areas on campuses with few exceptions. Learn more about masking at the U of A.
Stay informed
Visit the U of A COVID-19 information website regularly to learn what resources or safety protocols apply to you.
Practice good hygiene
Wash or sanitize your hands before and after touching surfaces. Some seating areas with tables and chairs may not be cleaned between individual use.
Make space whenever possible
Respectful physical distancing and smaller groups are encouraged whenever possible. Don’t forget, masks are required indoors on all campuses.
Be patient
Don’t overcrowd shared or enclosed spaces like elevators, washrooms, and hallways.
