Rules & Policies:
If you are considering cosplaying during the convention, please take a look at our Prop & Costume Policy to make sure any props and costumes you might be wearing are allowed and appropriate. This includes our policy on metal weapons, body paint, and prop guns so please consider these rules before you bring or wear items that our or our University's policy may not allow.
We will be enforcing our policies during badge pick-up and weapons check-in. If any prohibited items or props are found, you will be asked to leave with the prop or costume and will not be allowed in. If the costume is deemed too inappropriate we will ask you to change into other clothing before entering.
