Event Information

In order to encourage social distancing outside the classroom, effective immediately and until further notice, NC State is prohibiting on-campus events, meetings and gatherings of more than 100 people. Individuals and groups can submit an appeal for special event circumstances by completing an Event Exception Request. Appeals will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

We encourage the campus community to move meetings online where possible, using technologies such Zoom or Google Hangouts. Review the video, audio and web conferencing solutions provided by NC State’s Office of Information Technology.

In addition to larger gatherings, students, faculty and staff are also encouraged to use these or other technologies to limit smaller gatherings such as staff meetings and study groups.
