COVID-19 Health & Safety
COVID-19 Safety on Campus
The Ministry of Advanced Education & Skills Training's COVID-19 Go-Forward Guidelines for B.C.’s Post-Secondary Sector (see below) provides an overarching plan and protocols for post-secondary institutions across the province.
Selkirk College's Return to Campus Guidelines outlines the overall plan to keep students, staff and faculty safe and moving forward. Safety is the responsibility of everyone and individual efforts ensure successful execution.
Mandatory Mask Policy
Masks must be worn by everyone in all common spaces or when engaged in activities that risk a violation of the two-metre physical distancing requirement.
Selkirk College recognizes that a non-medical face mask is a necessary, recognized, practicable and effective method to limit the spread of COVID-19. A non-medical face mask covers the nose and mouth, ties around the ears or back of the head, fits snugly against the sides of the face, is secured under the chin and is designed to protect persons other than the wearer
Our Quarantine Plan
Following the leadership of the federal government and the Provincial Health Office, Selkirk College has implemented an extensive plan for students to self isolate upon arrival to Canada. Recent arrivals are housed under quarantine for 14 days in local hotels, with families or with homestay arrangements. Assistance with grocery and food delivery is managed by volunteers during the isolation period.
Read our plan to understand Selkirk College’s expectations and requirements to manage this period safely and smoothly.
