April 25 update: on-campus COVID-19 protocols
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
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.
