In line with the Ontario university sector, proof of vaccination is no longer required to access campus or participate in in-person Carleton activities. However, it may become necessary to bring back proof of vaccination requirements on short notice if the situation and public health advice changes. Everyone must attest to their vaccination status and if vaccinated, upload proof of vaccination and subsequent booster doses in cuScreen.

Individuals now have the option to report their booster vaccination status in cuScreen. In order to report a booster vaccination status, individuals must first report their first and second dose information which must be verified by the Carleton verification team.

Individuals must upload a copy of their enhanced vaccine certificate or related document in PDF format. Please do not include any special characters such as a “#” in the name of the file when uploading your proof of vaccination to cuScreen.

Although not required to access campus, we strongly recommend that all members of the Carleton community get their third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and submit it in cuScreen as soon as possible.

We strongly recommend that all members of the Carleton community get subsequent booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they are eligible.

At this time, cuScreen can only accommodate the third-dose booster. We are working with the vendor to implement the ability to allow individuals to add a fourth-dose booster.

In order to report your third-dose booster vaccination status, individuals must first report their first and second dose information which must be verified by the Carleton verification team.

Designing virtual classrooms and online opportunities for students requires multi-million-dollar investments in technology and experts to deliver the high-quality experience our students expect and deserve.

There is still a need for resources to be directed toward instructors, marking, academic advising and other student support that helps Carleton provide excellent academic instruction in every possible circumstance.

Your education is a significant investment and Teaching and Learning Services has been working closely with course instructors to develop their courses in a manner that facilitates online delivery and ensuring an inclusive learning environment for the fall.

Carleton is also developing resources to help students understand and navigate the online learning environment. We remain committed to continue supporting all students in their success, especially throughout this challenging time.

Synchronous courses are online courses offered in real-times where the instructor and students meet via web conferencing tools. These classes occur at scheduled days and times and students are expected to attend class at these times.

Asynchronous courses are online classes that are not conducted live and do not have a regularly scheduled class time. While there is a scheduled time associated with the course for registration, students can move through course material on their own schedule. Students are still expected to remain up to date with the deadlines and due dates provided by the instructor.

Blended courses are online courses where there is a mixture of synchronous meetings and asynchronous activities. This means students need to be prepared to meet some of the time online via web conferencing tools at scheduled days and times.

In all cases, courses are posted with a scheduled time (Eastern Standard Time) associated. Asynchronous and blended courses may use the time slot for class discussion, office hours, tests or midterms, etc. Students are expected to be available during those times.

For more information on time and equipment requirements for online courses, please visit the Types of Online Courses webpage.

Reporting all cases of symptoms potentially linked to COVID-19 is mandatory through the COVID-19 Symptom reporting process.

To facilitate the safe and gradual return to campus, departments can place orders for critical items through eShop. Departments will be able to order the necessary supplies directly from appropriate vendors or from Procurement Services, as outlined in the Return To Campus Purchasing Guide. For more information, please visit our supplies information website.

One-on-one meetings with students should occur in a space that permits physical distancing and masks must be worn. Where possible, one-on-one meetings should be held virtually.

For more information, please see the In-Class Teaching COVID-19 Guidelines.

On the recommendation of Ottawa Public Health, Carleton will be maintaining the mandatory COVID-19 Mask Policy until further notice. Masks must be worn in all indoor university facilities including shared offices, meeting spaces, athletics facilities, classrooms and labs.

Like other universities in Ontario, Carleton University will suspend its vaccination and masking requirements for participation in in-person Carleton activities beginning May 1, 2022.

Everyone is required to comply with public health requirements and the University’s policies and procedures to ensure a safe environment. No person shall knowingly create a condition that endangers the health or safety of other persons.

The following steps should be followed if a student does not comply with physical distancing or other COVID-19 procedures. These steps follow existing processes for non-compliant behaviour in a classroom.

• A student in non-compliance should be dealt with in a stepped approach, whereby the instructor first speaks with the student. If the student does not comply with the request or guidance, the instructor should connect with Campus Safety who will triage the incident.
• If the behaviour is repeated, Step 1 is to be followed and the instructor should also elevate the matter to the Chair/Director and Student Affairs, who will engage with the student. If necessary, Student Affairs will consider the Student Rights and Responsibilities.

For more information, please see the In-Class Teaching COVID-19 Guidelines.

If you are experiencing an emergency situation personally, please follow standard emergency procedures.

• If on campus, contact Campus Safety Services at 613-520-4444

At this time and to facilitate physical distancing, we anticipate the tunnels will remain restricted to authorized individuals only and those with approval for accessibility purposes. Access requests should be directed by email to your manager, supervisor, dean or relevant approver. They will submit your tunnel access approval to covidinfo@carleton.ca.

Access to the tunnels is planned to resume once new ventilation equipment is installed.

Although not required, we strongly encourage all members of our community to practice physical distancing where possible.

Masks must be worn and can only be temporarily removed when actively eating or drinking.

We encourage the use of designated eating areas (like cafeterias, dining locations, or existing break rooms) and the outdoors, as weather permits. Those within individual offices that are not shared, may make use of their office space for lunch and breaks. Eating and drinking within shared workspaces should be avoided, where able.

No food is permitted in the Library. Drinks are allowed if they’re in a container with a lid and if your mask is only lifted temporarily to take a sip.

No food or drink are permitted to be consumed in classrooms, except for water as needed.

When going to the bathroom, please ensure you are respectful by wearing a mask, maintaining physical distancing and washing your hands.

Facilities Management and Planning (FMP) has cleaning protocols for buildings, classrooms, common spaces and study spaces. For more information, please visit our cleaning information website.

Hand sanitizer stations have been deployed at building entrances for students, faculty, staff and community members to use while on campus. These stations are monitored regularly to determine the frequency of use. Depending on the traffic volume, additional stations will be deployed as needed. Should a hand sanitizer station require servicing, individuals are encouraged to notify the FMP Service Desk. Additional hand sanitizing mitigation measures are outlined in each unit’s approved return to campus plan.

Across campus, the main air handling systems in all buildings have been fitted with high efficiency (MERV 13) filters. All main air handling systems are providing pre- and post-occupancy flushes of ventilation air at least two hours before occupancy and two hours after occupancy. The systems are continuously monitored throughout the day by Facilities Management and Planning (FMP) Building Operations staff and FMP has engaged a third-party consultant to verify and recommission ventilation systems. More information is available on the ventilation strategy for the return to campus website.

Carleton University has been regularly flushing the water in our buildings, as well as testing for the presence of any Legionella bacteria since March 2020 to ensure the safety of all members of our campus community. Carleton University has also been following the testing protocols as outlined in the Public Works and Government Services Canada Standard, MD15161-2013 Control of Legionella in Mechanical Systems. In addition to Legionella testing, Carleton conducts regular testing of our cold-water systems to ensure our drinking water remains healthy and safe. More information is available on the water treatment program and legionella testing website.

Paper documents such as handouts, quizzes, sign-up sheets and the submission of some materials in hard copy is allowed. The science on surface transmission (fomites) suggests that surface transmission of COVID-19 occurs very rarely. However, hand sanitizer must be used before and after handling paper documents and individuals should avoid touching their face.
