Effective September 1, 2020, an affiliation to the UWI is no longer required to access the University Chapel. The Chapel can therefore be used by all interested individuals or groups once the desired activity is the type of event typically hosted at the venue. All other activities or events will require the approval of the CMC and/or University.
