We are excited to reopen the Centre building at 121 St. George Street starting week of September 13, 2021 to faculty, staff, and PhD students. Our building is still closed to the public. MIRHR and undergrad students will have building access starting October 4, 2021. Until then, meetings with faculty members should be arranged virtually or outside of the Centre. More details about the CIRHR reopening are available here.
Coming to Campus
Vaccines
The University of Toronto requires all those intending to be present on our three campuses, or on premises owned or operated by the university, to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and provide proof of vaccination via UCheck, in full accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
There are limited exceptions for community members who apply for, and receive, an exemption based on medical or other grounds protected by the Ontario Human Rights Code. But they, along with those awaiting their second dose, must participate in a rapid screening program and provide proof of a negative test before coming to campus. They may also be subject to additional safety measures. Rapid screening cannot be used as an alternative to vaccination.

Masks
Face masks are required in all indoor spaces (see updated U of T policy and guideline on face masks)
Self-Assessment
A self-assessment is required for all members of our community, including faculty members, librarians, staff, and students, each day they visit any one of the three U of T campuses or any other property owned or operated by U of T.
There are two ways that individuals can complete the required self-assessment and generate a risk status each time they come to U of T: by using UCheck, or by completing a paper-based or offline self-assessment log.
