Additional guidance regarding meetings within small groups
The Research & Innovation Office has developed additional guidance鈥攊n compliance with current COVID-19 dial status and current COVID-19 public health orders鈥攆or individuals approved through the Return to On-Campus and Field Work form and process to meet within small groups under certain conditions.
Anyone approved through the Return to On-Campus and Field Work form and process is now permitted to meet in small groups under the following conditions:
- All individuals must follow established campus protocols: complete the Buff Pass daily health check-in each day they will be on campus; participate in weekly monitoring tests if they are campus at least one day a week; wear a face covering; keep physically distant; and adhere to all current safety practices and COVID-19 dial restrictions.
- Indoors, groups up to 3 people may meet in person for no more than an hour at a time while adhering to appropriate building and room density requirements.
- Outdoors, groups of up to 8 people may meet in person.
- No individual engaged in approved on-campus or field work who is uncomfortable meeting in person via this process may be required to do so.
- Anyone wishing to participate in such small group meetings but not already approved through the Return to On-Campus and Field work form and process should first apply to return to on-campus or field work. For those already approved to return to campus or field work, no additional approval is needed.
