COVID-19 Policy

LaSalle College has adopted the following policy (the “policy”) that relates to students attending classes in person on LaSalle College premises, or being on LaSalle College premises or in the vicinity during the COVID-19 pandemic. This policy has been drafted using up-to-date information from medical experts, public health authorities and government authorities. All students and teachers must comply with these government policies to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within and outside the LaSalle College community.

If at any time you experience symptoms of illness that are indicative of COVID-19, or if you know that you have contracted COVID-19, you must stay home, comply with any physical distancing or self-isolation requirements imposed by local public health authorities, and take sufficient time to rest and recover. This applies even if your symptoms are mild. To this end, you must immediately contact the student coordinator assigned to you by the College to inform them if you have taken a screening test, and when you receive the test result.
