Community face masks
UNB takes the health and safety of our community very seriously. For this reason, the current face mask policy will continue until September 30, 2021. A thorough risk assessment will be conducted to determine if and how a gradual loosening of this policy will unfold.
The face mask policy applies to all faculty, staff and students regardless of your vaccination status. Fully vaccinated individuals must follow the face mask guidelines on campus.
