Dear UCI Students, We are writing to share with you the plans for students arriving to campus for Fall 2020. We are preparing for your arrival and continue to update our plans to conform to the most recent health guidance. A key aspect for maintaining a healthy Anteater community this Fall is the need to test all students currently on campus, as well as those arriving on campus. Further, as a condition to remain on campus, all students will be tested on an on-going basis. This is a necessary precaution to help control the spread of the coronavirus and maintain the health of the campus community. Students Currently on Campus Our initial phase will include a COVID-19 molecular PCR test which will take place September 9, 10, 11 (additional dates may be added) for residents currently living on campus. Students living on campus will be informed of campus testing locations, hours of operation and the testing protocol. There is no charge to students for this test. Students Arriving to Campus for Fall Move-in Students arriving to campus who are moving into American Campus Communities, Middle Earth, Mesa Court and Arroyo Vista (September 22-29) are required to do the following:
Weekly Testing Starting early October, we will be testing all students living on campus weekly. Students will be informed of campus testing locations, hours of operation, and the testing protocol. There is no charge to students for weekly testing. In the case that we have students who test positive for COVID-19 or are awaiting the results of a test due to a potential exposure, we have plans in place to isolate or quarantine and support these students. If you have questions regarding this message please email us at studentaffairs@uci.edu. If you have COVID-19-related questions, please contact the UCI Coronavirus Hotline at 949-824-9918 or email covid19@uci.edu. We look forward to your arrival on campus in the coming weeks. We realize this is a lot of information to take in, and not the way we all hoped the fall quarter would start. While UCI strives to give our students a memorable college experience, our priority will consistently be on your health and safety. We continue to work toward a more robust campus environment as the public health situation will allow. If we all do our part, we can minimize the spread and more quickly resume additional on-campus engagement.
