Events Scheduling

As a reminder, department or internal office meetings should be held virtually and must follow all Safe Return to Campus Plan precautions. Virtual events are still strongly encouraged. Guidelines for virtual events can be found at events.gmu.edu/virtualevents. The university is allowing some in-person events to be held with the following restrictions:

No more than 50% occupancy of event space or 150 people, whichever is less. This cap includes organizers, panelists, etc.
Spaces must be configured to provide six feet of physical distance between participants
Events must be seated to ensure appropriate physical distancing
All attendees, including organizers, panelists, etc., must wear face coverings
Exits will be configured to reduce the occurrence of bottlenecks at the conclusion of the event
Events will not be open to the general public; there must be an evite or registration system in place.
