Global Hub and Allen Center Winter Quarter Policies and Guidelines

Attending Classes/Events

Access to the Global Hub is permitted on the days that you are scheduled to attend class or event in person, which will be validated through the ‘seat assignment’ feature of the Kellogg Daily Access App upon checking into the building. Students attending events in-person must be registered for the event on CampusGroups in order to attain an in-person seat in their app. Students are now permitted to stay all day at the Hub/Allen Center on the days when they have an in-person seat in their app.
