The University of Windsor’s Return to Campus Framework is a living document to inform the UWindsor community on the latest updates for a careful and thoughtful phased re-opening of in-person campus activities. It will be regularly updated as new information is confirmed.
While it is our goal to bring our community back together to work, collaborate, socialize and learn on campus once again, the University of Windsor will do so only when it is safe and with great caution. The health and safety of all UWindsor staff, faculty and students is always the top priority.
The four institutional phases of the UWindsor Return to Campus Framework are outlined below. The CURRENT PHASE is highlighted in yellow.
Please note: A Resumption of Research Framework has been developed in conjunction with the University of Windsor's institutional Return to Campus Framework. The Research Phased-In timelines may advance prior to the resumption of other campus activities.
The progression of each phase is informed by public health guidelines and directives for our region and specifically for post-secondary institutions, and is subject to change at any time.
