To the CBU Community,
On Wednesday,聽May聽19, Nova Scotia announced that its聽province-wide lockdown due to COVID-19 case numbers and concerns around the COVID-19 variants, will remain in effect until mid-June. Cape Breton University had previously shifted to a Modified Level 1 of our Return to Campus plan in order to align with this聽provincial regulation, and we will remain at this level. During this period all classes are delivered online, and will continue to be offered online until it is safe to begin in-person delivery once again.
This means:
Here,聽at Cape Breton University, we continue to trust in our health leaders including Nova Scotia Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Robert Strang, and will continue to make every decision with the聽primary focus of聽health, well-being and safety of our campus,聽and the broader 福利免费在线看,聽in mind. We remain optimistic that with vaccinations and a full effort of following public health protocols, we will be able to offer in-person courses again for the Fall semester in September. This,聽of course,聽will only be the case if it is safe to do so at the time.
As September advising and registration opens on Tuesday, May 25, please keep in mind that,聽should聽federal or聽provincial regulations change, CBU will be prepared to pivot from in-person to online delivery to ensure we are meeting the academic needs of our students, wherever聽they聽are on聽their聽learning journey.
Until we can meet again in person, remember to show compassion to those you encounter. This is a very challenging time for everyone and kindness truly matters. Please do not engage in non-essential travel, stay within your own municipality, wear your mask, respect physical distancing and wash your hands. We鈥檙e in this together.
Yours very truly,
David C. Dingwall
President and Vice-Chancellor
