# Masking requirements at Seneca

At Seneca, masks are required in all instructional spaces such as classrooms, labs, IT labs, the dispatch area at Peterborough Campus and studios. In those spaces, faculty who are teaching and students are presenting may remove their mask when speaking if they are physically distanced. 

Masks are also required in enclosed spaces such as small meeting or consultation rooms where physical distancing is not possible. 

Wearing a mask in other areas such as corridors, libraries, computing commons, cafeterias and other more open areas will be your choice according to your comfort level or personal situation.

High-quality KN95 masks will be available at Seneca’s entrances.
