What to expect on campus during COVID-19

To support the health, safety and well-being of our Georgian community, everyone is encouraged to self-screen before coming to campus.

If you’re not feeling well for any reason, please stay home and do not come to campus. Use the provincial self-assessment tool and follow the guidance provided. 

If you can’t attend campus, please refer to Georgian’s COVID-19 Reporting Protocol. Students are expected to contact their professor(s)/instructor(s), and employees are expected to contact their manager if they can’t attend campus.

When on campus, please wash your hands thoroughly and often.

Questions?

All questions regarding safety protocols shall be directed to Campus Safety Services at [email protected] or 705.722.1586.

Please note, safety protocols are subject to change based on public health and government guidelines.

Masks are no longer required on campus

Effective June 25, Georgian has suspended masking in all locations on campus, unless required by lab-specific PPE requirements.

This follows the province’s announcement lifting remaining masking requirements across Ontario. Georgian will continue to monitor the ongoing pandemic and will respond to any emerging guidance from public health and the government.

While masks are no longer required, they are still strongly encouraged as an effective measure against the spread of COVID-19 and its variants.

Anyone who wishes to wear a mask on campus will have their choice respected.

Effective April 23, Georgian has rescinded the Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Procedure.

Vaccination is still strongly encouraged for all Georgian students and employees, but proof is no longer required to enter campus.

Students going on a work-integrated learning placement (e.g. co-op, field, clinical) are expected to adhere to any vaccination procedure implemented by the placement host or employer.
