As previously communicated, Dalhousie will be adjusting vaccination requirements for students, faculty and staff effective May 1. However, mask requirements will now be extended to June 10th, after Convocation.

A reminder message to students about COVID restrictions and recommendations still in place, including masks on campus and required self-isolation and testing.

With Nova Scotia lifting many COVID measures this week, we’d like to remind everyone that masks must continue to be worn in indoor common spaces on campus until April 30.

A summary of Dalhousie’s planned adjustments to COVID safety measures in the weeks ahead including masks and vaccination requirements.

Information for students as Dalhousie returns to in-person learning, including regarding masks, testing and this week's Munro Day holiday.

Dalhousie programs are returning to in-person learning beginning Monday, January 31; residences will re-open January 29; all masks worn on campus should be made of at least three layers, and many other updates regarding the winter term.

We continue to see higher numbers of COVID cases in Nova Scotia requiring new Public Health restrictions and significant shifts in the provincial testing mandate. We will need more time for our academic community as a whole to assess, understand and prepare for how best to deliver a safe and successful winter term.

Out of an abundance of caution and given the current epidemiology of COVID-19, Dalhousie University and the University of King’s College are modifying our approach to the start of the winter term.

With a few limited exceptions, today (Monday, Dec. 13) is the last day for In-person exams. All remaining December exams (originally scheduled for Tuesday and all subsequent dates) will be online, postponed or cancelled. More important updates are included.

Earlier today, Dalhousie learned of six members of our residence community in Halifax who received positive COVID-19 test results through rapid testing. All residence students in Halifax and Truro are being asked to complete rapid tests Saturday and Sunday and should not attend in-person exams if they receive a positive result.
