UU Entry/Usage Policy

9/15/21 Update

To enter the University Unions, each person MUST wear a mask at ALL times regardless of vaccination status. Exceptions are made should the individual be eating/drinking. While eating/drinking, the individual must practice social distancing. Additionally, exception to the mask policy allows for anyone in a space by themself to be exempt from wearing a mask. For example, if a staff member is in their own private office, they do not need to wear a mask but must immediately do so should someone come into their space.

 

This policy covers the use of ALL areas in the UU. 

UU Event Reservation Policy

9/15/21

As of the date listed above, the UU is accepting reservation requests.

  • Masks are required for ALL attendees at any event.
  • Room capacity is based on an event’s set up related to pandemic response requirements. In some instances, we may be able to accommodate our original maximum capacity for each room. Capacity will be determined per event.                                                                                                   
  • Should food or beverage be involved in an event, there MAY be drastic changes to the room capacity to allow for social distancing requirements. A Special Event Plan (SEP) will be developed for the event. It will be routed to university officials for approval and the Event Coordinator will need to agree to the terms.                                                                                                                                                                                              
  • Reservation requests MUST be submitted at least 40 business days in advance.   
  • ALL approved events MUST be created on BaySync in order for attendance to be taken/tracked for contact tracing purposes.
