- The Fall 2020 term will be conducted predominantly online, with limited exceptions in select programs where in-person learning is required to fulfill industry or field-specific accreditation requirements. Learn more.
- Our plans for Winter 2021 are focused on a mix of online and in-person instruction, in which a significant majority of courses will continue to be delivered online but some courses with particular accreditation requirements or significant experiential learning components will be delivered in person or in a hybrid or blended format.

- With safety as our paramount concern, Dalhousie is undertaking a gradual, phased approach to returning to campus operations. During this time, many campus buildings, offices and services are not available in-person, while others are offering modified or online services.
- Our safety protocols require the use of non-medical masks or face coverings in most indoor common areas on our campuses, in alignment with the Province of Nova Scotia. Learn more about health and safety on campus.
- To ensure continued safety, we are not permitting indoor meetings/events/gatherings on on campus until at least October 15. Outdoor events will be considered provided a safety plan is completed, approved and followed and space is available. For more details, visit the Events and Gatherings section of our Campus Services page.
The fall term will be delivered predominantly online with limited numbers of staff and faculty permitted on campus. Learn about what we're doing to ensure safety and continue to deliver a high-quality academic experience.
