Step 1: Self-Assessment
This step is required daily via the Nipissing Safe App or the Nipissing Safe Web App.
For details on steps required to complete the self-assessment, please visit the Nipissing Safe App page and click on the accordion titled, "Completing the COVID-19 Self Assessment".
Step 2: QR Code for Self-Assessment
After completing the COVID-19 Self-Assessment, you will receive results in the form of a QR code. If the QR code is green, you are approved for entry to campus buildings. If the QR code is red, you are not approved to enter campus buildings and should follow the recommendations provided.
To gain access to the campus, individuals are required to scan their QR code on the scanning devices.
Step 3: Vaccine Status Attestation: Unvaccinated
As per our COVID-19 Vaccination Policy, Nipissing University will allow individuals to attest to their vaccination status using the Nipissing Safe App during the period of September 7 to October 29, 2021. You can provide your attestation using the Vaccine Passport feature within the Nipissing Safe App or the Nipissing Safe Web App.
For those who have not achieved full vaccination status (14 days post-2nd dose), this step is required daily.
Step 3: Vaccine Status Attestation: Fully Vaccinated
Once you have attested to having two (2) doses, your vaccine passport will remain approved with a darker green QR code.
