COVID-19 Response Update

Remote instruction to extend through spring quarter

The campus will offer only remote instruction for spring quarter, and students who can safely leave are urged to do so and to take all of their personal items from their university-owned housing. This immediate action and several other proactive steps the university is taking to mitigate the potential impact of COVID-19 on campus, in Isla Vista and in the broader Santa Barbara community are detailed in Chancellor Yang’s March 14 COVID-19 Response Update and New Spring Quarter Guidance.https://chancellor.ucsb.edu/memos/2020-03-14-covid-19-response-update-and-new-spring-quarter-guidance.
