A visitor is any person attending university property to participate in a university-sponsored or university-organized event or activity. As permitted by provincial legislation, this does not include customer interactions in a retail setting or quick service for food.

Laurier requires visitors to its campuses and locations to have their vaccination status and COVID-19 screening results verified by the Laurier staff or faculty member hosting them.

Verifying Vaccine Status

Each visitor will be asked to produce proof of full vaccination as well as identification that includes their name and date of birth. Photo ID is not required but is an easy method to verify.

Visitors can produce proof of vaccination through two methods prior to entering a campus building:

• Providing either a paper or electronic version of their vaccine certificate with a QR code; the host will verify with Verify Ontario mobile application and compare visitor’s name against proof of vaccination.
• Providing a paper or electronic version of the PDF second-dose vaccination receipt; the host will verify receipt visually and compare visitor’s name against proof of vaccination with their ID.

The proof of vaccination needs to include the visitor’s name, date of vaccination, and brand of vaccine.

Note: Contractors and university partners who have recurring relationships with the university are verified through a separate process.

COVID-19 Screening Assessment

Visitors without Laurier SSO credentials can submit a COVID-19 self-assessment through the Visitors COVID-19 Screening Assessment Form.

Health and Safety on Campus

As Laurier follows its recovery process, all people attending a Laurier campus or location have a responsibility to help maintain the health and safety of our community.

Review our health and safety protocols that have been put in place.

In-Person Guided Campus Tours

We're excited to welcome prospective students and their families back to our Waterloo and Brantford campuses to participate in guided tours with our Laurier student ambassadors. Tours run at various times, Monday through Saturday, and have limited spaces available. We ask that you keep guests to a minimum and that only those in your immediate family participate.
