1. Reference A details the administration of the October 2020 RSWE. This update reiterates the SWE substitute exam policy promulgated in reference B, which can be used to allow members impacted by COVID-19 to compete in the October 2020 SWE competition.
2. COVID-19 continues to impact our workforce. Members exposed to, suffering the symptoms of, or testing positive for COVID-19 require isolation, quarantine or hospitalization to regain their health and preserve the health of others. The substitute exam policy in reference B, chapter 3.B.2., can be used to ensure members impacted by COVID-19 can still compete in the October 2020 SWE. Commanding
Officers (CO) are strongly encouraged to become familiar with this policy and make preparations, as necessary, to allow all eligible members to compete in the October 2020 SWE.  
3. In addition, COs shall review and adhere to the instructions listed in Reference C, the SWE Officer Handbook. The SWE Officer Handbook is available at https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/ppc/Shared%20Documents/ADV/sweBooklet.pdf.
