Grad Lounge and Office Occupancy
by James De Castro 09 Sep '21

09 Sep '21

Hello all, This e-mail is a refresh of the COVID directives for students being on campus and our grad student spaces. Grad lounge - please follow the yellow sheet maximum on the door and sign your name in on the sheet (on the table) if you enter the room. Wear your mask and remain 2 m away from others using the lounge. Grad offices - We will be creating another schedule for fall grad offices as some office rooms have had an increase in occupancy limits. The schedule will be circulated on Monday so that students sharing offices can plan it out. You must respect the occupancy limit posted on your door, be 2 m away from each other wearing masks, and also signing in on the sheet posted on your door. There is some flexibility in office scheduling as long as you are following the occupancy limit - that will be for you and the people sharing your office to decide. If you would like a grad office and have not requested one yet, please REQUEST ONE by emailing wilson44(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:wilson44@myumanitoba.ca> If you have further questions, please send them to decastr4(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:decastr4@myumanitoba.ca> Thank you and welcome to the Fall term!
