COVID-19 update: May 2, 2022

In alignment with recent provincial government protocols, wearing a mask is no longer required in indoor spaces on the Mount Royal campus; however, MRU strongly recommends that you continue to wear a mask as an additional layer of protection.

Please note, masks will still be required for the following:

• Wellness Services on campus, as their operations follow directives from Alberta Health Services (AHS).
• Continuous masking must be followed for up to five days following mandatory isolation due to COVID infection for vaccinated individuals. For more details, visit the Province of Alberta’s isolation website.
• In specific clinics, labs and classrooms where masks are standard personal protective equipment (PPE). 

Visit  mru.ca/COVID19 for all of Mount Royal's COVID-19 measures, including those affecting current students.
