Quarantine Requirements

This fall, most curriculum at Lambton College in Toronto (LCIT) will be offered
remotely.

Given the current circumstances surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, we recommend


that you start your studies from your home country whenever possible.

Small numbers of students, staff, and faculty will be on campus this Fall to
accommodate graduating students’ lab requirements. Only graduating students in the
following programs are affected:

• Chemical Laboratory Analysis (LAQT)
