Events guidelines

Events guidelines

UT Arlington urges all campus groups and organizations to limit their fall events and activities to what is required, essential, and permitted by the University, county, and state officials.

Virtual, online, and broadcast events and meetings are strongly preferred. Large events are not permitted. No academic building classrooms will be used to host events since classes are the priority.

University officials stress that health and safety should be the key in organizing any event. Learn more about the events guidelines.
