This fall we will welcome some students and instructors back to campus for in-person instruction. How will that impact other staff and faculty? For most, there will be no change.
Those staff and faculty currently working remotely will continue to do so until at least December 31, 2020. The University of Alberta remains in Phase 2 of relaunch activities. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, we must continue to minimize the number of people on campus, as well as appropriately manage the health and safety of those who need to be attending class or working on campus.
There are only a few exceptions for returning to campus:
- approved in-person teaching exceptions
- approved essential services on campuses
- approved research activities that cannot be conducted remotely
- approved limited work exceptions on campus (e.g., access to equipment or inadequate work space at home)
