University mask mandate lifted

Updated May 2, 2022

Masks are no longer required on UCalgary campuses.

Masks are strongly recommended for use on campus, and everyone should feel comfortable continuing to wear a mask.

Masks are still required when travelling in university vehicles to align with City of Calgary bylaws for mask use on public transportation.
