Spring runoff and flooding

Here is an update on the measures taken by the University concerning the heavy flooding and emergency conditions affecting the Eastern Ontario and West Quebec. Students and employees should follow developments through their uOttawa email accounts or the University’s social media pages.

We understand that this exceptional situation is affecting the University community and we thank students and employees for their understanding and flexibility.

Students

The University of Ottawa continues to monitor the situation closely. Some students and professors directly affected by the flood are still experiencing difficulties and the University continues to offer its full support. 

While authorities are working at completely resolving the situation, classes for the Spring-Summer term are being held.  We encourage you to use public transit and to exercise extreme caution in your commute.

We remind you that if you are experiencing an exceptional situation or are in urgent need of assistance, please contact your professor(s) or academic unit.
