COVID-19: Delivering accurate information during a fast-changing global health crisis
Thank you for your interest in attending Dalhousie and in living in residence.
We understand how important it is for you to get complete and accurate information about your housing options while studying at Dalhousie. We know where you live is an important factor in deciding where you choose to study.
Through this website, our aim is to provide you with clear and accurate information that reflects the most current public health guidelines and the university’s own health and safety policies. However, public health guidelines – and Dal’s response to them -- are subject to change at any time. We will work to keep our site updated as quickly as possible as more information becomes available.
If you have any doubt, please consult the Nova Scotia Public Health website for the latest COVID-19 health protocols, or contact our Residence Office.
Thank you.
