Policy Detail

Allergies

Allergies to perfumes, afershaves, and scents are becoming more prevalent in school, and the workforce.
Therefore, in the interests of all students' and staff members' well-being, we ask the students refrain from using these products.

Use of Tobacco, Cannabis, and Vapour Products

Elevare™ Career Institute's campus is a smoke-free and scent-free environment. During your time on campus, we ask you to:
  • Attend class, labs, and placements free from the influence of these substances.
  • Keep your learning envirument substance-free and scent-free.

Illness and COVID-19

Students are asked to read and adhere to the precautions described in the BC Government ImmunizeBC information release (www.gov.bc.ca/FluBC). They are:

  • Get a flu shot
  • Wash your hands regularly
  • Quickly dispose of used tissues in the garbage
  • Cough and sneeze into your shirt sleeve rather than your hands
  • Stay home when you are unwell.

If you have the symptoms listed (fever, headache, muscle pain, runny nose, sore throat, extreme tiredness, and cough), stay home from work and school to look after your own health and to keep from infecting others. See a health care provider if your symptoms become worse but call ahead of time to let them know you have a fever or cough illness. Refer to this same website for information about COVID-19 vaccinations and to answer any other questions you may have.

In the event of public health concerns such as a COVID-19 outbreak, the Institute will activate remote learning protocols and provide up-to-date health guidelines. Students are required to follow these protocols and regularly monitor official communications.

Dress Code

Programs offered by Elevare™ Career Institute prepare students for the workplace. Therefore, students are expected to wear clothing appropriate to their intended employment.

Emergency Evacuation Procedures

Please ensure that you are familiar with the emergency exits at the campus. Emergency evacuation procedures are posted at each campus.

Student Emergency Contact & Updates

Students must maintain up-to-date contact details (including cell phone numbers) to ensure prompt communication in emergencies. It is highly recommended an alternate contact information is also provided and kept up-to-date. This is especially important when students are on work experiences. Your alternate contact will be used if there is a family emergency, and you cannot be contacted immediately.

Public Safety Emergencies:

  • In cases where a public safety emergency occurs (e.g., local police close down the area or the campus bridge due to a bomb threat or other hazards), the Institute will notify students as soon as it is safe to return.
  • Classes will be conducted remotely using the Institute’s hybrid teaching facilities, with instructors teaching from home if required.
