In consideration of the difficulties that exposure to scented products cause to sensitive individuals UPEI asks for your cooperation in making our campus a scent-free environment. We ask that all faculty, staff, students, and visitors refrain from wearing or using products with strong scents/fragrances while on campus. A few examples of products to refrain from wearing or using are: colognes/perfumes, body sprays, lotions, hair care products, hand/body soaps and lotions, shaving cream, sun screen, laundry soap, fabric softeners, air fresheners, scented candles and Aromatic Oils (used in aromatherapy).
