Based on the COVID-19 Return to Campus Primer NVIT is preparing for a full return to on-campus teaching and learning in September 2021 at our campuses in Merritt and Burnaby. Face-to-face learning with our First Nation community partners throughout the province will be on a case-by-case basis as Indigenous learners and First Nations communities might continue to take increased safety measures during the pandemic.
Core measures that are expected to remain in place for September, until otherwise determined by the Provincial Health Officer, include:
• Completing a daily COVID-19 self-assessment and not attending campus when ill;
• Following handwashing and hygiene protocols;
• Maintaining up-to-date campus COVID-19 Safety Plans;
• Continuing daily cleaning protocols in all indoor settings and on high tough surfaces; and
• Requiring non-medical masks in indoor common areas depending on the rate of COVID-19 transmission.
Our hybrid delivery will include some face-to-face and some online learning.
All alternate delivery classes will be live classes.
Some NVIT programs will require face-to-face components that cannot be offered in a virtual format (labs, field trips, practicum preparation, skills training) and may be in a hybrid environment with partially online courses. This includes the following programs: Access to Practical Nursing Diploma (APNS), Environmental Resources Technology Certificate and Diploma (ENRT), Health Care Assistant Certificate (HTCA) and Renewable Energies Technology (RNET).
Depending on the program, learners may have the option to learn completely online. Please reach out to enrolment services prior to September 8th, 2020.
