COVID-19: Updates for Student Life Programs & Services Delivery

Posted March 16, 2020

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, we want you to know that the Division of Student Life is here to support you.

Our university operations continue so all our units remain open with some modifications in how we are delivering our services.

Most co-curricular workshops and events in the Division of Student Life on the St. George Campus have been cancelled or postponed for the remainder of the term. Please refer to the CLNx for programming updates as well as Student Life Facebook groups and Twitter and for general updates.

We are currently working hard to find ways to deliver some of our high demand workshops online or through alternative formats. So please stay tuned and watch out for forthcoming announcements.

We are still available and appointments with students are currently continuing, either in-person, online or by phone as outlined below.
