Events
Effectively immediately, UW–Madison’s COVID-related restrictions specific to gatherings and events — including meetings, conferences, and performances — are lifted. However, anyone attending an indoor in-person event must comply with the chancellor’s order on wearing masks while indoors in campus buildings or facilities, regardless of vaccination status.
In addition, all events and meetings must follow existing health and safety requirements including venue occupancy and providing food and drinks in accordance with the Campus Catering Policy.
Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) should review the Student Organization Resource & Policy Guide. The information included on the site details specific policies and guidelines to follow depending upon the event.
Individuals or organizations (third-party) not affiliated with, officially recognized, or sponsored by UW–Madison, may impose additional protocols and requirements for those attending their events on campus.
