Vaccination Policy and 2022/23 Academic Year.

 An Important Message from our Dean, Dr. Wayne Melville:

Welcome to the 2022/2023 academic year, where we plan to be back predominantly face-to-face for the first time since March 2020. In planning this return, we just wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone of two important points. The first is that the Lakehead vaccination policy and associated restrictions are currently not in effect. The second is that there is always the possibility that Lakehead's masking and mandatory vaccination policies will need to be reinstated with little notice. If Lakehead's mandatory vaccination policy were to be reinstated, then it is highly likely that anyone who is not compliant with the policy will not be permitted to access Lakehead premises.

Consequently, students planning to enroll in Fall 2022 courses should be advised that should vaccination policies be reinstated, and courses continue on campus, there is no guarantee that hybrid or remote learning opportunities will be available across all courses. Those who do not satisfy the policy's vaccination status disclosure requirements may find themselves unable to access their classes or complete their program requirements.

For students in the Bachelor of Education program, we are currently waiting on our partner boards to clarify any proof of vaccination conditions that may still be required  for potential Fall 2022 placements within a school board.

We will continue to keep everyone informed of any changes as they arise. In the meantime, enjoy your summer.

Regards,

Dr. Wayne Melville

Dean of Education
