Student Orgs and Co-curricular Activities

The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) announced it will postpone competition in cross country, football, soccer, and volleyball for the fall 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The conference is working to develop spring schedules for those sports, which have been deemed at medium- or high-risk for coronavirus transmission by the NCAA. Learn more on the St. Olaf Athletics website.

The college is still evaluating these programs based on guidance from the MDH and CDC. Skoglund/Tostrud will have some activities available for recreation based on the current Community Standards. Recreation will continue to provide virtual programming and will be updating the community with additional activities available. Activities that can be performed while adhering to Minnesota’s restrictions on group sizes and the College’s Community Standards on physical distancing, face covering, hand hygiene, etc. will not be restricted.

Please refer to the full Music FAQ section for the latest information regarding ensembles.

Some programming can happen in person in a way that abides by the Community Pledge and Standards. The Office of Student Activities will be in contact with student organizations regarding expectations and guidelines.
