If you are a new or returning student to St. Jerome’s University, we welcome you to a different world of learning created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our staff and faculty are committed to providing you with a safe and positive learning environment, in what we recognize are challenging circumstances. Together we are all adjusting to being away from campus and learning remotely.

To help reduce the spread of COVID-19, our Return to Campus Committee is working within the guidelines set out by the Ontario Government, Community Public Health, and the University of Waterloo, to ensure a safe return takes place at the right time.

As a community we share a responsibility. To protect each other. To keep campus safe and comply with protocols in place. To reach out to use resources when days are challenging. We may be remote, but our team is close online. Please connect if you need us.

We hope that the quick links below will help support your success this term and to remain encouraged as we move through this challenging time together.

Interim Vice President Academic and Dean
