As the fall term begins, many students are wondering what the semester will bring. As previously announced, Brandon University will hold some classes in person and others online. If your courses have less than 25 people, you will be attending in person. If you are unsure whether you will be attending online or in person, check your timetable as they have been updated to show whether or not you will be in class.
Another change students can expect during this year is that they will be required to wear a mask upon entering any building within the university. Furthermore, the university is encouraging all students to obtain their two vaccines. The university has even sponsored a contest to encourage students and staff to vaccinate. Other aspects that will change during this upcoming year will entail opening a variety of services previously closed due to the pandemic. The library, Healthy Living Center, and the cafeteria will all be open to students as well as certain student services. While the Healthy Living Center is only opened to vaccinated individuals, the library and other services are available to all.
This year will bring a series of unknown situations that will be experienced for the first time by all Brandon University students. It is important to remember the basics in order to ensure our return is as safe as possible; social distance, stay home when sick, wear a mask in all indoor public places, wash your hands regularly, and most importantly, get vaccinated against Covid-19.
