Covid-19 Guidelines

Northern Lights College's General Guidelines

At this point, NLC's regulations can be summarized in a few clear points:

If you feel unwell, do NOT come to campus. This rule is always applicable, whether you believe your illness to be COVID-19, a simple cold, or something else.

We strongly advise all staff and students to be fully vaccinated, including boosters as needed/available.

Lifting of BC’s indoor face coverings order:

Given the high rate of vaccination in British Columbia, effective March 11, 2022, public health no longer requires face coverings in indoor public settings.

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to be respectful of individual choices concerning masks based on each person’s comfort.

Indoor common area mask requirements for employees as part of the Workplace Safety Order are no longer required.

Removal of proof of vaccination requirements:

Effective April 8, 2022, proof of vaccination will no longer be required: to access events and services; and, for post-secondary student housing.

NOTE: Public health measures and restrictions may be reintroduced depending on the evolving COVID-19 situation.
