Updated COVID-19 Guidelines for Student Organizations
The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Guidelines for Student Organizations have recently been updated and can be found here.
Following a review by the leadership of the UGA Preventative Measures Advisory Board (PMAB), major updates/reminders address the following:
- Food at events and meetings: Student organizations are strongly recommended to provide “to-go” options only at events/meetings and not consume food during the event/meeting.
- Group size: Student organizations are encouraged to host virtual events whenever possible until the pandemic improves, and in-person events should limit group sizes to ensure social distancing.
- Location of events: Outside events with social distancing are the preferred option.
- Updated links for further reference.
If student organizations comply with these guidelines, there is no requirement to have events and/or meetings reviewed by PMAB. Organizations are encouraged, though, to request review of events/meetings if they have further questions. Additional information can be found here.

Based on recommendations from the Educational Affairs Committee, “No mandatory assignments shall be scheduled for completion during these instructional break days, either for course work or extra-curricular or co-curricular activities.
