Today, the Province of New Brunswick announced changes to travel restrictions for post-secondary students leaving New Brunswick this spring. Effective Friday, ...April 9 at 11:59 pm, students and anyone helping them move their belongings in and out of the province are permitted to enter New Brunswick for a period of no more than 24 hours to transport a student and/or remove belongings from a student’s residence. For full details: https://www2.gnb.ca//en/news/news_release.2021.04.0266.html Public Health rules must continue to be followed and visitors must complete the travel registration form and receive confirmation prior to travelling to NB. Travellers should also check with their home province to see if further restrictions apply upon returning home. We hope this news is helpful in planning your end-of-the-year travel.

We should all collectively celebrate the hard work, perseverance, and adaptability of the Mount Allison community as we all navigated the challenges of universi...ty life during a global pandemic. New Brunswick Public Health continues to be positive about the near-term outlook for the province. This provides us with the opportunity to begin planning for an orderly and safe return to campus for the majority of University operations, staff members, and students this summer. In the Fall 2021 Term, Mount Allison will provide as much on-campus academic programming as possible. The overall student experience will be much more campus-centric as well. You can expect the campus experience to be much more like the true ‘MtA experience’ beginning in September 2021.
