Return to campus

A safe and gradual return to campus

Health and wellbeing are UFV’s main priorities.

As our local COVID-19 situation continues to shift, UFV is committed to following the BC COVID-19 Return-to-Campus Guidelines as well as recommendations from Public Health Office (PHO), WorkSafe BC, and the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training (AEST). Dr. Bonnie Henry has explained the science behind returning to campus in a letter to BC post-secondary presidents.

We encourage all members of the UFV community to join us in keeping our campuses healthy and safe as we navigate this challenging time together.
