COVID Guidelines
In order to host Parent and Family Weekend, the COVID Monitoring Team has asked that all family members and guests to the university follow the below guidelines, regardless of vaccinations status:

  • All guests must complete a visitor self-screening. If given the all-clear, please save the email or take a screenshot of the checkmark to show at entrances to Parent and Family Weekend events.
  • We ask that all guests wear masks both indoors and outdoors when not actively eating or drinking.
  • When possible, please physically distance from other parties.

Please note that performance art venues and museums such as Edison Theater, the 560 Music Center, and the Kemper Art Museum have more stringent COVID guidelines.
Parking
For long-term parking throughout the day, we encourage you to park in any designated visitor space or yellow designated spaces on campus.

Visitors will not need a permit to park in these spaces during the weekend.
