To close of the winter semester, here is an update to on-campus protocols, requirements, and closures:
- Starting May 1, 2022, masks are not a requirement on the main Shaftesbury campus for at least the summer months. Masks are recommended if you have been in contact with someone who has been ill, if you have any symptoms yourself, or for other reasons for which you feel wearing a mask would be appropriate.
- If you test positive for COVID-19, please follow provincial recommendations for isolation periods, as found here. If you are otherwise feeling unwell, please stay home until recovered, as the preservation of a healthy in-person experience remains a priority.

A message from the CMU president regarding fall 2021 vaccine requirements
Thursday, August 19, 2021 @ 10:30 AM
Canadian Mennonite University is committed to honouring the health, safety, and well-being of the community as a whole. Our collective health is reliant on shared habits and responsibilities of students, staff, and faculty in this time of COVID-19 and always. As we move into the 2021-22 school year the ongoing health risks of COVID-19 remain highly concerning, even with exemplary vaccination rates in Manitoba. Thus, all CMU students, staff, and faculty are required to be vaccinated for COVID-19 in accordance with the schedule listed below. We make this announcement with recognition that many members of the CMU community already have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

The CMU learning community has been amazing all year in collectively honouring one another's health, safety, and well-being. I'm deeply grateful to all CMU students, staff, and faculty for sharing so much good learning, laughter, care, and generosity in the midst of all that's been awkward and hard.
For the upcoming school year starting September 2021, CMU is planning for primarily in-person classes, with some accommodation via hybrid/online formats where needed. As it has over the past 12 months, CMU is following the guidelines put forth by Manitoba Health.

CMU plans for the 2021 winter term: what and why
Friday, November 27, 2020 @ 4:36 PM
Dear CMU students, staff, faculty, and sessional instructors,
In 2014 the CMU graduating class chose the following verse as a focus of its Convocation Celebration: What are you doing here? (1 Kings 19:13). It's a good question, good in the sense that it means more than one thing. The word "what" really does directly mean "what are you doing"; the question also means "why." Thus, "What are you doing here?" asks both, "what are you doing?" and "why are you here?".
