Participant Conduct Policy

It is the intention of the 2021 Homecoming Executive Committee to conduct a safe and enjoyable week of activities for all participants, students, and alumni. In order to ensure that all involved parties are treated with honor, respect, and dignity, the following Participant Conduct Policy will be strictly enforced starting Sunday, October 11, 2021 through Saturday, October 23, 2021. Please note that the conduct policy is also extended for any event/program where official activities begin prior to the start of Homecoming week (i.e.- Lawn Decoration, Choreography, etc.)

Participant Registration/Waiver Process

It is the policy of SGA Homecoming Rules that every individual who plans to participate in Homecoming 2021 Activities and Events register and complete the Participant Waiver.  This Waiver also ensures that participants are aware of major policies pertaining to the activities they will participate in and that they have completed the Physical Activity Waiver, Alcohol Conduct Policy, and any other applicable rules/regulations.  Any participant found to have NOT completed the registration process, will cost their team a point deduction or disqualification (See infractions).  Participant Registration/Waiver will be found on this website under the “Registration” tab.
