The group also wants the university to set up remote learning for international students and accommodations − including remote options − for immunocompromised students and staff.
The SSMU also wants students to be part of the university’s decision-making surrounding COVID-19 safety.

A petition has also been circulating asking McGill to mandate vaccines.
The university said at the time they would follow all Quebec health measures, which does not include a mandate for on-campus vaccinations, but that students must wear masks at all times indoors.
