Events-Safety Plans Reminder
Posted October 12, 2020
October 12, 2020
As a reminder, SIUE has determined that both indoor and outdoor events may be hosted provided that the activities conform to the current phase of the Restore Illinois Plan. This applies to University-sponsored events and student organization events, hosted both on-campus and off-campus. Restore Illinois’ Phase 4 guidelines limit the size of gatherings, require face coverings and 6-foot social distancing.
For all events, event organizers must develop an Event Safety Plan and submit it for review. There are additional provisions in the plan for indoor and outdoor recreation and athletic events that can be found here.
In-person events are required to comply with the Event Safety Guidelines, including a contactless check-in process, advance event sign-up, and submission of an attendance list with 24 hours of the event. Please review all in-person event requirements before submitting an Event Safety Plan.
An “event” shall be defined as any gathering of 10 or more people (faculty, staff, students or guests) who are gathering, whether on University property, University-affiliated properties or at a non-University location for purposes that include, but are not limited to: social, programmatic, organizational operation or training-based needs.
A Safety Plan pursuant to this policy is not required for gatherings, such as study groups or other meetings directly related to academic coursework, athletic practices or academic group tutoring.
