EXCEL Campus Activities—UTA's official student-led programming board—has adapted to the challenges of keeping students engaged during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Virtual events in 2020 included trivia, open mic nights, and comedian-led bingo games. A limited number of in-person events have been offered, including a drive-in movie night and an educational TEDx Talk. Livestreaming for all such events continues to be available for those who want to watch from home, allowing EXCEL to reach UT Arlington students on a wider scale.

University students are encouraged to learn more about hazing, Texas laws concerning hazing, and UTA's hazing policy.

Under the law, individuals or organizations engaging in hazing could be subject to fines and charged with criminal offenses.

Educational institutions are required to publish a report regarding any registered student organizations that have been found responsible for, cited for, or convicted of hazing over the past three years. See the UTA hazing report.

Read more information about hazing on the Office of Community Standards website.
