UNB face mask requirements

December 2022

The face mask requirements apply to all faculty, staff and students regardless of your vaccination status.

Face masks must be worn in instructional spaces.

  • Instructors or students presenting in class may choose to remove their masks while maintaining a 2-metre distance from the front of the class.
  • Food and drink are not permitted in classrooms with greater than 10 people.

Face masks may be removed in other shared indoor spaces.

UNB remains a mask-friendly environment and we encourage those who wish to wear masks on campus.

Examination period

Face masks are required at all times while writing exams in the classroom and instructional spaces. Please maintain social distancing outside of the exam room when possible.
