69´«Ã½

As previously announced, UPEI’s Charlottetown and St. Peter’s Bay campuses will re-open on Monday, October 3, 2022. Classes, labs, and other campus operations will resume.  

69´«Ã½has lost five planned teaching days during the Fall Academic Semester. By restarting classes on Monday and recommending a minor adjustment to the December calendar dates to the University Senate, the fall reading week and semester will be preserved.  

We realize that members of our campus community continue to experience hardship in the aftermath of Fiona. Everyone’s continued patience and flexibility to accommodate these individual circumstances is greatly appreciated. 

Many thanks to Facilities Management, Security Services, Residence Services and the many others who have continued to work to provide essential services and ensure the campus is safe.  

69´«Ã½has two warming/charging centres open over the weekend as follows: 

• W.A. Murphy Student Centre, daily from 8 am–6 pm 
• 69´«Ã½Chaplaincy Centre, daily from 8 am–5 pm 

The 69´«Ã½women’s and men’s soccer teams will resume AUS regular schedule play on Sunday, October 2, at 1:00 pm and 3:15 pm respectively, on the 69´«Ã½Artificial Turf Field. The 69´«Ã½Soccer Panthers will face the UNB Varsity Reds, who are travelling over in the morning and returning back to Fredericton after the games. Go Panthers Go! 

Please note that over the weekend: 

• 69´«Ã½Security Services is operating 24-7. 
• Services for students in residence continue to operate. 
• In addition to serving students with meal plans, the Wanda Wyatt Dining Hall is open to students who wish to purchase meals. 
• AVC Veterinary Teaching Hospital will remain open for emergencies. AVC Diagnostic Services will continue to provide essential animal health support. 
• Robertson Library and 69´«Ã½Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre will be closed. 

We recognize how this situation is stressful. Please remember that 69´«Ã½has a number of supports for students through 69´«Ã½Student Affairs, including personal counselling (studentserv@upei.ca), Accessibility Services (studentserv@upei.ca), and the International Student Office (irostu@upei.ca). Eligible employees can access the Employee Assistance Program at 1-800-387-4765. We encourage you to reach out for support.
