Student Information for Winter 2023

Reminder of Campus Safety Precautions

The First Nations University of Canada has communicated that the health and safety of our students, Elders, faculty, and staff is our priority.  

With variants of COVID-19, Influenza, and the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) currently at a high prevalence in Saskatchewan, we need to remain cautious, and we encourage everyone to take the necessary safety precautions while on campus.

  • Individuals who are sick, not feeling well or who experience respiratory or COVID-related symptoms should not come to campus.
    • Please do not bring others onto campus, such as friends or family members, who are currently sick or experiencing respiratory or COVID-related symptoms.
    • Please stay home, self-manage, and advise the FNUniv Crisis Response Team immediately.
  • We continue to encourage and welcome masking on any of the three campus locations. Masks and hand sanitizer are available upon entering campus, in addition to every classroom, lab and library. 
  • We encourage regular self-testing: rapid antigen test kits are available for all campus community members.
  • Regular testing is recommended when we are asymptomatic to ensure the safety of ourselves and those around us daily.

Please visit the Saskatchewan COVID-19 website for requirements on self-testing, self-management, and rapid test locations at www.saskatchewan.ca/COVID-19.

The Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is similar to a bad cold and is very common and very contagious.

Read more about the causes, symptoms, and treatment on the website https://www.saskhealthauthority.ca/your-health/conditions-diseases-services/healthline-online/hw176517

If you have questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Crisis Response Team Lead at COVID19@brockthunderfirstnationsuniversityca

Guide to Understanding the Class Schedule

  • The Guide to Understanding the Class Schedule will help you interpret the Winter 2023 class schedule.  You will see that it refers to the Fall 2022 semester but it is the same information for the Winter 2023 semester.  Please note that the examples included in the Guide are snapshots of what you will see in the Visual Schedule Builder system. If you are using UR Self-Service to search for courses, you will see the same information as in the examples but in a different format.

If you have any questions on the courses offered, you may call 1.306.790.5950 ext.3251 or email info@firstnationsuniversity.ca
