In the event a resident experiences symptoms or is required to quarantine, Housing Services has set aside self-containing units. The Residence Life team will address residents who report feeling unwell or have any COVID-19 symptoms. These students will be directed to COVID Resources and required to complete the UofL student illness self-registry. To learn more about how we will support our quarantining students please refer to Quarantine in Residence.
In order to reduce the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus, all students in residence must adhere to the following guidelines:
- Follow social distancing guidelines:
- Masks are required in all common and shared community spaces (lobby, hallways, stairwells, laundry rooms, garbage room)
- Keep two meters away from others
- Students in residence are prohibited from having guests during the pandemic
- Gatherings and parties are not allowed in residence during this time
- You are encouraged to use delivery or pick up services where possible
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least twenty seconds
- Self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms:
- Symptoms include cough, fever, shortness of breath, runny nose or sore throat
- If you experience any of these symptoms, self-isolate immediately, then alert your facility’s RAD
- Sick individuals must be tested
- If your condition deteriorates rapidly, seek medical help immediately
- Follow the policies outlined in the Residence Community Handbook and Single Student License Agreement
- Keep up-to-date on Alberta Government COVID-19 guidelines and rules
We recommend you prepare a COVID Kit. In the event a student needs to relocate to a self-isolation unit, having items prepared in a COVID kit will facilitate a quick and convenient move and help keep others safe.
