    3. Guest Policy:
      1. Dorm-style residences: given the larger numbers of students there will be no guests permitted in the actual dorm space; shared spaces within residence halls will be used to ensure physical distant social connections for students who are living in these settings to engage in as they choose.  
      2. Apartment residences: these spaces range from 1-3 bedrooms and students will be allowed to identify one guest each who may access the apartment. All guests will be registered and logged for routine health screening upon entry and in the event contact tracing will be required.
    4. In keeping with directives from our local and provincial health authorities, common spaces are now subject to the max capacity approved by our TWU COVID-19 Health and Safety Committee.
