A message from Santa J. Ono, President and Vice-Chancellor

As we begin the second term of the 2020/21 Winter Session, I would like to update you on our plans for the Summer Session, which starts in May 2021. 

This past year was extraordinary and unlike any other, as we all adapted to new ways of working, teaching, learning and conducting research. Thank you, once again, for responding so quickly to the unique circumstances of the last 10 months.

We are now planning for our approach to Summer Session, Term 1 (May – June 2021) and Term 2 (July – Aug 2021). We can assume that, for most courses, remote instruction will remain in place. However, additional opportunities to expand in-person instruction will be considered, where it is safe to do so.
