As you consider housing options for next academic year, please keep in mind that the residential experience for students living in UCLA housing for 2020-21 will be different than in past years, as we take steps to reduce the risk of COVID-19. As we make these adjustments, our Housing and Residential Life teams remain committed to offering programs, services, and opportunities to build community with your peers and with student residential hall staff.
Students living in campus housing will be asked to do their part to help reduce the risk of COVID-19, including but not limited to the following (which are evolving and subject to change):
- Living in lower-density in on-campus housing, including double or single occupancy rooms (however, please be informed that furniture in rooms may not match actual occupancy, e.g., triple furniture accommodations may be present, in a double or single occupancy room)
- Adhering to public health recommendations including hand hygiene, physical distancing and proper cough/sneeze etiquette
- Regular and ongoing temperature checks
- COVID-19 testing
- Daily self-symptom monitoring and reporting
- Adhering to requirements that students limit their contact with those outside the housing community for 7-14 days immediately upon arriving on campus, if requested by UCLA.
- Wearing personal face coverings outside of the resident’s room, including hallways, restrooms, etc., and throughout the campus
- Understanding that non-resident guests (including family) may not be allowed into the residence halls
- Respecting limits on how many residents can use community spaces including bathrooms, common spaces and study areas, and restrictions on events and social activities, per public health guidance
- Accepting limited face-to-face interactions with members of the Housing and Residence Life staff, following public health guidance
- Required isolation/quarantine for residents who are exposed to or test positive to COVID-19 (symptomatic or asymptomatic). UCLA has set aside specific rooms for isolation/quarantine if necessary
