\n Policy Update: October 2024\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The Senior Management Committee met on October 30, 2024, to review and approve of the following policies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Mental Health Policy (New)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a community, 杏吧原创 University is committed to promoting positive student mental health and well-being with the recognition of the complex and varying needs of our student body. 杏吧原创 University\u2019s commitment to promote a safe, supportive and healthy campus and to provide supports to students in relation to mental health and wellness. The purpose of this Policy is to describe and outline information on the programs, policies, services and supports available to 杏吧原创 University students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a complement to the Student Mental Health Framework, the Policy aligns with legislated requirements under Bill 166, the Strengthening Accountability and Student Supports Act, 2024 and the directives issued thereunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Health Information Processing Policy (PHIP) <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of this Policy is to ensure that Personal Health Information (PHI) in the University\u2019s custody or control is collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the relevant legislation. 杏吧原创 is committed to protecting the privacy, confidentiality and security of all PHI that has been entrusted to us. 杏吧原创 provides this protection, in part, by complying with Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA), enacted on November 1, 2004. PHIPA establishes rules concerning the collection, use and disclosure of PHI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All changes made are either minor wording changes or bringing the policy inline with current practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anti-Spam Compliance Policy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

杏吧原创 University has implemented a policy to ensure compliance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which took effect on July 1, 2014. The policy outlines the obligations for faculty, staff, students, visiting scholars, and authorized third-party agents regarding the sending of commercial electronic messages (CEMs). CASL prohibits sending CEMs without consent, requires specific information and an unsubscribe option, and bans fraudulent data collection and unauthorized access. While most university communications are not considered CEMs, this policy applies to all parties involved in sending messages that promote commercial activity or manipulate data and ensures that 杏吧原创 University is compliant with CASL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All changes made are either minor wording changes or bringing the policy in line with current practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campus Parking and Traffic Policy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

杏吧原创 University has established a parking policy to effectively address the needs of students, staff, and visitors on campus. The policy aims to create fair and reasonable regulations for parking and traffic, ensuring the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles. As a private property, the university is responsible for enforcing its Parking and Traffic Regulations consistently. This policy applies to all members of the 杏吧原创 community, including students, faculty, staff, and visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no major changes to the current policy. Revisions include updates to contact and links to related supporting policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
