Spring 2021 Accommodations
All faculty, staff and graduate assistants who received a COVID-19/ADA-related accommodation during the Fall 2020 Semester may continue to use their approved accommodations during the Spring 2021 Semester unless notified otherwise. Individuals may seek a new or different COVID-19 related accommodation for the 2021 Spring Semester if they fall within one of the categories for increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19, as defined by the CDC.

Campus Operations
Home Game Social Distancing Guidelines
As outlined in the Sept. 15 statement from UGA Athletic Association, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, tailgating will not be permitted on the University of Georgia campus for the 2020 football season. Recognizing fans will be traveling long distances, fans arriving for the game will be permitted to gather at their vehicle until kick-off for light refreshments after their travels. To better clarify the expectations for the day and to help promote a safe environment, maintain social distancing throughout campus and to follow local, state and CDC guidelines, we are implementing the following guidelines while on campus for game days.
Game Day Dining Hours
On Oct. 3, 2020, Chick-fil-A, the Market at Tate, Niche Pizza Co. and Starbucks will open three hours prior to kick-off. These locations will close at kick-off. Take-out options will be available. No inside dining will be permitted. The Grill Tent and Last Chance Drink Tents at Tate will be closed.
Bolton and the Village Summit will be open regular hours to meal plan participants only (O-House, Snelling, and the Niche are closed on weekends). The Quick Markets will be open to meal plan customers from noon to kickoff.
Food Truck Options on Campus
Dining Services continues to partner with local food trucks to bring additional dining options to campus. Meals can be purchased using Paw Points, Bulldog Bucks, cash, credit and debit. While the food trucks accept Paw Points held by some meal plan participants, they do not accept all-access or block swipes.
UGA Bookstore Open on Game Day
The UGA Bookstore will be open on Oct. 3, from 8 a.m. to midnight. The Bookstore will have tents set up around the stadium three hours prior to kick-off, as well as a clearance tent set up next to the One Stop Shop. You can also head to the Bookstore for a special autograph signing featuring legendary coach Vince Dooley and former star running back Garrison Hearst from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Please be mindful that wearing a face covering in our store is required at all times.
New Fitness Options Available with Rec Sports
Have COVID-19, quarantine and working from home caused you to be less active and more stressed? Now it is more important than ever to take care of your mental and physical wellbeing. We all know that exercise benefits our strength and cardiovascular function, but did you also know that regular exercise can boost your immune system, fight depression and anxiety, give you more energy and help you sleep better?
If you are ready for better health and wellness, the department of recreational sports is committed to helping you. To better serve the UGA community, NEW outdoor and virtual fitness options are now available in addition to our in-house options.
