COVID-19 Information

Updated 8/25/2020

Per UNLV's instructions, the university is still falling under the Interim Policy on Campus Events. This requires that events not be held in-person. Since there are no dates indicated on the policy, we are recommending any events scheduled through 9/23/2020 plan on meeting the Interim criteria mentioned in the policy. Events that wish to have an in-person component should follow the policy guidelines listed at least three weeks in advance for UNLV events and at least five weeks in advance for non-UNLV events. Our recommendation is for events during that period either go fully online, cancel, or go through the process of requesting an exception.

When new information becomes available, we will provide it here.

When we are allowed to more fully open for campus events, we have prepared our guidelines for a limited reopening. This describes guidelines and practices for our department for small UNLV-sponsored in-person meetings which are allowed to occur. All event sponsors and participants will be required to abide by mandatory mask use and social distancing while in the Student Union.

However, we are booking for fall 2020, spring 2021 and summer 2021 spaces at this time. Our events will be dictated by regulations at the time, including possibly limiting group size and location selections to honor social distancing.  You may reach our office at eventservices@unlv.edu or eventsales@unlv.edu. You may also submit your reservation request through our online portal. Once events are able to resume, our staff will exercise caution and diligence to manage in-person meetings and events in as safe a manner as possible. Your safety is our #1 goal.

Presentation: Managing Events During COVID-19
