Life U Athletics COVID Procedures and Requirements

Welcome

Life University values your support of our student-athletes. Our primary goal is to protect the health and safety of our campus community members and ensure the quality of our students’ education. Due to the increase in Covid cases in the State of Georgia and the potential for close contact during the holiday breaks, we have implemented a Face Covering Requirement. Effective November 30, 2020 face coverings will be required in all LIFE University buildings and common areas. Additionally, they will be required at all university events that present a higher risk of transmission and/or when physical distancing is not feasible, such as athletic events. Consistent with the Department of Public Health and CDC guidance, the University is implementing this guideline in order to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 among University community members while pursuing our goal of on campus instruction.  The face covering requirement will continue until further notice, unless modified by the University President. We hope that the following safety measures allow you to enjoy competition in the safest way possible.

It is Life University’s position that wearing masks/face coverings will be required at all venues.
