First day of winter semester at UNBC will be delivered online due to COVID-19 surge

Dec 23, 2021 | 4:04 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — With cases of COVID-19 rising rapidly in B.C. and around the world, UNBC says all first classes of the winter semester will be delivered online.

After the first class, many courses will remain in-person, but some will temporarily shift to alternate modes of delivery until January 28.

UNBC says it will continue to evaluate the situation and will provide further updates early in the New Year.

By making this decision now, UNBC says students know what to expect for the start of the winter semester. The semester will still begin as scheduled on January 5.

This decision follows advice from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry earlier this week, who recommended that winter semester classes at post-secondary institutions beginning in January remain primarily in-person.
