Plan ahead.
Need to come to campus? Please read the following check-in procedures carefully.
Before your first visit to campus.
- Complete the COVID-19 Safety Awareness course on Brightspace. The training takes approximately 25 minutes to complete and includes a video and a companion quiz.
- Know where the key entrance points for the building(s) you plan on visiting:
- A Building – north entrance
- B Building (access via A Building north entrance)
- C Building / Gathering Space – east entrance
- L Building – south entrance
- T Building – northeast entrance
- See list of student and campus services that are open.
What to prepare before you come on campus (each time you visit):
- Ensure you do not have any COVID-19, cold or flu illness symptoms.
- Perform a health self-check using the assessment tool at covid19.thrive.health. You can also download the app for your mobile device.
- Have your Student ID Card (or student ID number and a government-issued photo ID) ready.
When you are on campus:
- Locate your key entrances (see Key Entrance Map).
- Tap your smart card on the card readers (effective Jan 2021)
OR - No card? Check-in with a Health & Safety Hero at the Health & Safety Check-In stations located in A, T, and L Buildings.
- Remember to give yourself extra time for check-in. If there is a line, please keep 6 feet (2 metres) apart by following the indicated floor markers.
- Students will be asked for identification (name, Langara ID card or photo ID and student number, a phone number) each time as per guidelines to assist VCH with contact tracing. Students will also be asked if they have completed their Health & Safety course and daily assessment each time.
- If the Health & Safety Check-In Station is closed, students may access buildings during business hours by visiting the Security Office (located across from the Bookstore).
All visitors are responsible for the following.
- Following physical distance guidelines, such as staying 2 metres (6 feet) from others.
- Washing your hands when entering and exiting a building. You can wash your hands (20-30 sec) in the washrooms nearby or with hand sanitizer (20 sec) at one of the hand sanitization stations.
- Keeping your visit brief.
