Update: Important Announcement Regarding Events on Campus
Masks are optional at Mason, except in classrooms and class labs during scheduled classes and or/lab activity.
All on-campus events must still follow certain requirements:
- All events and gatherings managers must request space in compliance with University Policy 1103 (Space Utilization and Scheduling).
- Participants must complete Mason COVID Health✓™ and receive a “green light” status on the day of the event. Event organizers must perform a spot check of 20 percent of attendees to verify a green status during check-in.
- Entrances and exits must be configured to reduce bottlenecks.
Requests for exceptions
- Faculty and staff who wish to request a medical exemption from wearing a mask where required should contact Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for more information
- Students who wish to request a medical exemption from wearing a mask should visit University Life’s Office of Disability Services for more information.
- Event organizers may choose to make masks required. Signs can be posted at event entrances to notify attendees of mask requirements.
