Latest updates
Fall 2020 Semester primarily online
Monday, May 25, 2020, 2:15 p.m.
In April 2020, a special taskforce was struck to explore the University of Lethbridge’s academic delivery options in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this extensive work, I can share with you that teaching and learning activities at our Lethbridge and Calgary campuses will be held primarily online for the Fall 2020 Semester.
Thank you to the committee members who have helped us reach this point and have guided our decision making. In coming to this conclusion, the safety of our students, faculty and staff has been and will continue to be our top priority. We must ensure we are maintaining a safe environment consistent with Alberta’s public safety guidelines and in line with public health directives. The welfare of our students, faculty and staff as they learn, teach and work is of the utmost importance.
Campus bus stop relocation
Wednesday, April 1, 2020, 5:30 p.m.
Effective Thursday, April 2, 2020, the on-campus Lethbridge Transit bus stop is moved from the Aperture Drive bus loop to a temporary stop at the west end of Parking Lot G.
This location better aligns with the current restricted access status on campus.
Summer Session I classes online
Tuesday, March 31, 2020, 11:15 a.m.
At the University of Lethbridge, the safety of our students, and of the community, is our top concern; as well, we endeavour to set an example in following all of the public health guidelines as closely as possible.
We have made the decision to cancel, or move online where possible, all currently scheduled face-to-face courses for Summer Session I. Decisions for subsequent summer sessions and for Full Summer Session opportunities whose start dates can be delayed (e.g. co-ops) will be made at a later date.
Registration will be re-opening on Wednesday, Apr. 1 at 7:30 a.m. for summer 2020 and fall 2020. In the summer timetable, many courses have been timetabled for online delivery and in the coming days more courses may be added or changed to online delivery formats. Check the timetable regularly for new and updated summer course offerings and special scheduling notes.
