Our commitments to your studies in the fall of 2020

Friday April 24th, 2020

Dear students,

In this time of crisis and uncertainty, some of you may have questions regarding your studies in the fall. Above all, you should know that the student community remains at the heart of FSA ULaval’s priorities. We have taken measures to ensure that our students can begin or advance in their programs as planned, whether enrolled in online or in-class courses.

To begin with, for Fall 2020 FSA ULaval is increasing its offering of online courses at the undergraduate, masters and doctoral levels, while maintaining an offering of in-class courses that will respect the conditions dictated by the health guidelines in place at that time. In the eventuality that in-class activities must be suspended, alternatives will be put in place to ensure that you are able to continue your studies. Such alternatives would include the transfer to an online format of some course sections or the replacement of one section by another that is already offered online.

In an exception to usual procedures, the University will allow international students who are unable to get to Canada for immigration reasons (such as a delayed Quebec acceptance certificate (CAQ) or study permit, or if the borders are closed) to do their Fall 2020 semester remotely online.

Despite the unusual circumstances that we are all experiencing, the Faculty is deploying its many resources to provide you with high-quality teaching and a rich student experience.

Cordially,

Margaret Schomaker
Associate Dean of Academic and Student Affairs
