The University of Alberta is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and supportive work environment for employees. In appropriate circumstances this can include opportunities to work from home. The Work from Home (WFH) Program provides employees the flexibility to work from home while maintaining the necessary level of productivity, engagement and performance required by the university. 


Eligibility for the Work from Home program is outlined in the Work From Home Program Guide. Requests to work from home are formalized through a Work from Home Application Form.


How to apply for the Work from Home Program:

  1. Review the Work from Home Program Guide and assess whether your role is eligible for consideration.
  2. Complete the Work from Home Application Form and submit it to your Supervisor for review.
  3. Your Supervisor will meet with you to discuss your application, assess the feasibility of the proposed agreement and facilitate next steps.


For further information, including the Frequently Asked Questions resource, please visit the Work from Home Program website or speak with your Manager or Supervisor directly. Managers and Supervisors can find more information on administering the Work from Home Program on the Managing a Hybrid Workspace website.
