COVID-19 Update for Jan. 3: In-person labs and shops postponed until January 10 to allow for additional time to fully implement enhanced safety measures

Posted: Jan 3, 2022 5:53 PM   |  Updated: Mar 10, 2022 1:49 PM

In light of rising cases of COVID-19 driven by the rapid growth of the Omicron variant, NAIT is postponing the return of in-person labs and shops for degree, diploma, certificate, apprenticeship and continuing education programs until January 10. This will allow additional time to fully implement enhanced safety measures in areas where on-campus learning is required to meet learning outcomes.  

Students with in-person shops and labs scheduled this week can expect to hear from their programs shortly about alternate online learning that may take place.  

Online lecture and theory classes, including those already moved online until at least January 21, will continue as scheduled.
