Update on COVID-19: Remaining assessments and final exams for all students
- University of Victoria
From Kane Kilbey, UVic Emergency Operations Centre Director and Susan Lewis, Associate Vice-President Academic Planning
In light of the global progression of the COVID-19 virus and the impacts on travel and mobility, all UVic undergraduate students planning to travel home may now do so. This includes both international and domestic students. We ask research assistants and students in professional and graduate programs to verify program adjustments with their academic advisors or supervisors before making travel plans.
Any remaining course delivery and student assessment (including final exams) for all students (undergraduate, graduate, and professional) will not be conducted in person. Faculty and instructors will be communicating their plans for completing courses and assessment (including final exams) to students by Thursday, March 19, 2020.
Residences and most services for students remain open. Students in residence who wish to stay may do so and further information about options for early check-out will be communicated to you directly later today. UVic is not aware of any presumptive or confirmed cases of COVID-19 among students, faculty or staff.
We know these decisions will require some adjustments, and I thank all members of the university community for your patience, flexibility and cooperation during these extraordinary times. I also want to reassure you that we will continue to provide updated information as it is available.
The most current information for students, staff and faculty is posted and regularly updated on the university’s website at www.uvic.ca/covid-19/.
