November 2020

As many of you make plans to travel home for the December break, we wanted to provide you with important reminders—whether you are travelling locally or internationally—to help keep you safe.

As you prepare for the final weeks of the term, we wanted to acknowledge the challenges many of you have been facing. Over the past number of weeks. As a a result of your feedback, we have implemented a number of supports that have been approved by the Dalhousie Senate.

This week the Province of Nova Scotia has announced new restrictions to help slow the spread of the second wave of COVID-19, most of them in the Halifax area. It is vital that we all renew our efforts to follow Public Health and university protocols designed to keep one another and our community safe.

This weekend, Nova Scotia Public Health has informed Dalhousie University of two confirmed COVID-19 cases among our student community living off-campus in Halifax. We all have a responsibility to do our part to prevent COVID-19’s spread.

Updated information for students about self-isolation / quarantine requirements for those arriving in Canada from another country as well as those arriving in Nova Scotia from Canadian provinces outside the Atlantic Provinces.

With the fall academic term now well underway, we are writing to update you on some of the university’s plans for the rest of the year, particularly as they relate to the return of faculty and staff to campus, offices and research and our evolving approach to events.
