Western is preparing for a full return to in-person classes this September while prioritizing the health and safety of our campus community.

As part of a new COVID-19 vaccination policy, all members of our community – including students, staff and faculty – who plan to be on campus this fall will be required to demonstrate proof of vaccination or be tested twice a week.

Western's on-campus vaccination and testing centre at the Graphic Services Building is now open throughout August and into the fall to accommodate first and second doses for students and employees. 

We continue to follow public health guidelines, working closely with the Middlesex-London Health Unit and more information will be shared with the campus community as it becomes available.

Please do not visit if:

• You have travelled outside Canada during the previous 14 days.
• You have symptoms of COVID-19 or are feeling unwell.
• Someone in your household has COVID-19 symptoms in the past 14 days.
• Anyone in your household has been exposed to someone who has or is recovering from COVID-19.
