Welcome
We understand that this academic year has been uniquely challenging for students, and we appreciate your feedback and your work to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Be mindful of the required safety protocols, follow our mask policy, and perform a daily symptom check. Together we can help stop the spread! For more information about how the University is shifting its operations, please visit our COVID-19 Information website.

Campus & Community Life
Navigating Campus
We have enhanced our operations, services, and cleaning practices to make sure that everyone in our campus community stays healthy. We are working together to ensure health and wellness and we ask that you do your part to contribute to the success of all health practices. To learn more, please visit our COVID-19 Health and Safety page.
- You are expected to wear a non-medical mask on campus when social distancing is not possible, unless you are unable due to medical reasons.
- Whether you are inside or outside while on campus, please keep two metres (six feet) away from others.
- Visitors are not permitted in residence. Only residence students and staff may enter residences.
- Throughout campus, we are cleaning and disinfecting more often. All common-area restrooms and spaces—including in residence halls—are cleaned and disinfected regularly.
- Every day, all students, faculty, and staff are expected to complete a self-diagnosis questionnaire before coming to campus or leaving residence halls.
Dining
We've changed the campus dining experience to enhance our food safety and sanitation processes and follow the new provincial health guidelines.
- Dining Hall seats fewer students at any sitting and includes scheduled mealtimes based on the class timetable. The Dining Hall experience features more controlled access, more frequent cleaning and sanitation efforts, and the elimination of self-serve and buffet-style options.
Fitness & Recreation
- We're providing opportunities to have fun and stay active. You can schedule a workout at Acadia's Fitness Centre, attend a drop-in session, or go to a Power Hour. There are also new fitness boot camps and training opportunities.
- We've also worked with the Acadia Athletics team to offer new Alternate Sport & Recreation programs. We encourage you to sign up for campus intramural leagues or try different sports in fun, casual one-night-only events. Our leagues and events follow specific provincial sport organization guidelines.
Academics
- Our Winter 2021 Academic approach is built on ensuring the health and safety of students and employees, while providing a range of flexible models for students who intend to join us on campus or cannot or choose not to attend in person. How a course is facilitated could depend on the size of the class, the content topics, and the level of classroom participation.
- Each course will be delivered in one of five formats.
- If you are joining us for the first time, you must complete the online COVID-19 Preparedness & Education course on ACORN before the start of classes.
