This information specifically pertains to Bachelor of Commerce Co-op students beginning their work term this upcoming winter term.
UPass Opt-out Process:
As COVID-19 has affected study locations, for Winter 2021 term, students can request to opt-out of the UPass before their work term is approved. If your work term is likely to be outside of the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), you can opt-out of the UPass.
The deadline to opt-out of the UPass for the Winter 2021 semester is January 15, 2021.
To opt-out, there are three steps:
- Complete a waiver online, available at: https://www.dal.ca/campus_life/UPass/opting-out.html
- If requested by the DalCard Office, provide documentation to show that your work term is outside of HRM. How? See bottom of this blog
- Return your UPass sticker to the DalCard Office (if you already picked it up), located at 6230 Coburg Road (Howe Hall).
-
- UPass stickers MUST be returned for your waiver to be processed, even if you have already left the province/country
- Contact the DalCard Office for directions on how to return your sticker if not in Halifax: https://www.dal.ca/campus_life/Dalcard/contact-us-form.html
Dalplex Access:
Dalhousie students do not pay any student services fees while on co-op work terms, which means that they do not have access to the Dalplex or Sexton Memorial Gym until they return to classes on a full-time basis. Currently, Dalplex is closed until further notice, in accordance with current Public Health guidelines. For more information, visit https://athletics.dal.ca/
Residence:
If your work term is located outside of the HRM and you are living in a Dalhousie Residence, you must contact the Residence Office at residence@dal.ca and provide proof that you have an approved work term outside of HRM. How? See below
