Event Guest Policy

The following guidelines apply to ALL non-RSO events, both indoors and outdoors, including guest speakers for academic programs and classes. Specific requirements for some events may be shared by the event organizers (i.e. Commencement, Homecoming, etc.). Questions regarding guest attendance for specific events should be directed to the event organizer. Please note that the University’s intercollegiate varsity athletics events are governed under separate guidance from the NCAA and/or Northeast-10 Conference. Please see the section of this page under the heading, “Athletics.”

  • Events occurring on any University of New Haven campus must be reserved in the Event Management System (EMS).
  • Only the Event Coordinator, as listed in the Event Management System (EMS), or their designee, may invite non-University guests to events.
  • All invited non-University guests must show proof of being fully vaccinated OR proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR or viral antigen test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival on campus. Proof must be shown on arrival to the Event Coordinator as listed in the Event Management System (EMS) or their designee.
  • Guests will only receive permission to attend the specific event approved. Guests must depart campus within 30 minutes following the completion of the event.
  • Non-university members attending on-campus events as guests may be restricted if the campus is at an alert level other than Green.
  • Compliance with this policy will be the responsibility of the event’s COVID compliance coordinator or the university member that is requesting a campus visitor.
