With Homecoming Week fast approaching, it’s important to keep in mind Missouri S&T’s COVID-19 safety guidelines as they relate to events. On-campus gatherings are permitted without prior approval if:

• They are limited to no more than 10 individuals
• All participants maintain a physical distance of six feet or more
• All participants wear appropriate facial coverings as much as possible during the event.

For groups larger than 10, all members of the university community should plan to hold virtual events. However, students, faculty and staff may host events for larger groups if approved in advance by the university’s COVID-19 meeting request review team.

To request an exemption from the current COVID-19 guidelines for your event, please complete this form at least two weeks before the date of your event with a description of the event; the time, date and location of the event; and the estimated number of people in attendance. Please also provide information about the following safety precautions:

• Hand sanitizer and additional facial coverings are available
• Individuals are wearing appropriate facial coverings
• Proper social distancing is practiced (minimum of six feet between individuals)
• Campus Screen App is used for entry
• Temperature screening is performed on entry
• There is an accurate roster of attendees for potential contact tracing

As we continue to focus on making the Fall 2020 semester as safe as possible, the university anticipates that most events this semester will be limited in scope and number of attendees, so please plan your events accordingly.
