Please provide proof of vaccination using the links below. Staff are asked to specify their name, position and employee group in their email.

Added Protection

We have made further enhancements to our cleaning and disinfection routines with additional electrostatic spraying in classrooms and laboratories. We are also making hand sanitizing stations and disposable three-layer protective masks available at multiple points throughout our campuses.

Full vaccination is the best way to safeguard yourself from getting infected and lessen the severity of your symptoms if you do fall ill. Alberta Health Services is booking appointments for COVID-19 doses and boosters. Anyone aged 18 and older who received a second dose five months ago is now eligible for their third shot.

Within the campus community, you are considered fully vaccinated after receiving your second shot. Please be aware that full vaccination also limits your downtime should you become COVID-19 positive. Fully vaccinated adults who have symptoms and/or test positive are legally required to isolate for five days or until symptoms resolve - whichever is longer. More information about isolation requirements can be found here.

Those seeking a medical or religious exemption will need to consult their physician nurse practitioner, or religious leader, and submit the relevant form using the channels below.

Exempted Students - proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of accessing campus is required.

People with COVID-19 symptoms that are not related to a pre-existing illness or health condition are legally required to isolate as per Alberta's isolation requirements. By doing an at-home rapid test you can help detect infection early and stop the spread.

Students, faculty and staff who start to experience COVID-19 core symptoms while on campus that are unrelated to a pre-existing illness or health condition must immediately return home and follow Alberta's isolation requirements.

• If you test positive for COVID-19, you must self-isolate from GPRC premises as per Alberta's isolation requirements.
• Anyone who is self-isolating must register through the College's COVID-19 Isolation Registry.
