With UCN’s pandemic plan for the fall term published on their website, Arctic Radio News reached out to the school for more details.

The institute’s Vice President of Academics and Research, Dan Smith, explains that most of the courses offered this fall will be taught remotely, except for more hands-on programs, which will have some aspects of face-to-face learning.

Smith adds that for in-class learning, class rooms have been reconfigured to ensure students are two metres apart, and for situations where physical distancing is not plausible, personal protective equipment will be required.

He acknowledged that the plan may change depending on the situation with COVID-19 at any given time, and that the Sharing Space Safely document will be improved on as time goes on.
