Guidelines

  • Groups that have a confirmed reservation on the tent schedule have sole priority for use of that tent. During times when there are no reservations, tents may be used for informal gatherings, dining or studying on a first-come, first-served basis.  Please be sure to check the master tent schedule before utilizing an available tent. 

  • The individual who submitted the reservation is responsible for ensuring appropriate use of the tent during the reservation time, including the below health and safety protocols. 

  • During a reservation, please post the signage provided at the tent to indicate the space is reserved. Please re-post the “Tent Open” signage when your reservation concludes.

  • Students should utilize their provided portable chair within the tent whenever possible. 

  • Tables, chairs, signage, cleaning supplies, and other items provided with the tent may not be removed and should be left in the manner in which you found them. 

Health and Safety Protocols 

  • Physical distancing must be maintained between all persons at all times. Tent gatherings where a 6 foot distance cannot be maintained between all persons are not permitted. 

  • Face coverings must be worn at all times while utilizing tents, with the exception of when eating or drinking. 

  • Individuals must disinfect any surfaces which they touch (tables, chairs, etc.) before and after use. Cleaning supplies will be provided at each tent.
