In a situation where in-person classes and on-campus operations need to be suspended such as by a directive from York Region Public Health or Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Niagara University in Ontario will implement its Continuity of Education Plan (CEP) procedures, as outlined below, to minimize disruption as much as possible.
Notice of the implementation of the CEP will be provided to students, faculty and staff via their Niagara University email account as soon as possible and posted on Niagara University in Ontario’s website and social media channels. Along with notification that the CEP has been implemented, additional information on how certain services can be accessed and the estimated duration of the CEP will be provided.
If on campus operations are suspended, there should be limited impact on educational programs with class times remaining unchanged. However, if any educational programs or related activities such as sessions, tests, examinations or presentations will be impacted, students, faculty and staff will be advised via their Niagara University email account as soon as possible with revised instructions or alternative options.
Administrative and Student support services are currently available online and will continue to do so if on campus operations are suspended. However, if any administrative or student support services will be impacted, students, faculty and staff will be advised via their Niagara University email account as soon as possible with revised instructions or alternative options.
Niagara University officials under the direction the Vice President for Ontario Administration will continue to monitor the situation and make any necessary revisions as required. Students, faculty and staff could check their Niagara University email account regularly or the Niagara University in Ontario web site or social media channels for up-to-date information.
In case of emergency, please contact the Campus Safety Department at (716) 286-8111 or safety@niagara.edu for assistance. The Campus Safety Department operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
