Screening & Other COVID-19 Updates

A message for all Trent students from Dr. Nona Robinson, AVP of Students

Dear students, 

It is exciting to see COVID-19 restrictions lifting as we continue with our in-person winter term. With the Province outlining next steps for living with and managing COVID-19, here is what you need to know about the latest updates for our campuses: 

• Screening: As of March 21, you do not need to complete Trent’s daily screening tool. To ensure the health and safety of our community, please do not come to campus if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or are required to isolate. If you have symptoms, you should continue to use the Ontario COVID-19 Self-Assessment to determine your next steps. 

• Proof of vaccination (QR code) will no longer be required to access the Trent Athletics Centre as of March 22. Bookings will continue to be required for fitness classes and use of the squash courts and climbing wall. Be sure to check the Athletics Centre website for full details. 
  
  Through the end of the winter term, the University will continue with: 

• Vaccination requirement for all students, staff, faculty and visitors in keeping with guidance from the COU.  

• Mask policy – masks continue to be required in all indoor spaces on campus. 

• Online self-reporting tool if you test positive and have attended in-person classes. 

If you have questions, or require support, as always, you can connect with Student Affairs or your College principal. Be sure to also review our updated COVID Case Expectations protocols for students for guidance on what to do in a number of COVID scenarios. 

Thank you for your flexibility, perseverance and patience as we navigate this evolving pandemic together. Please continue to be safe and responsible as more restrictions lift. 

Wishing you the best for the remainder of the term, 

Nona
