Focus on Health and Safety
We are excited about the start of the semester next month! There is so much happening on campus this year, and we’re excited for you to be a part of it! As a reminder, proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required for anyone who learns, lives or works on campus. Eligible exemptions and accommodations include medical, religious or sincerely held beliefs and require submission for validation. Move-in Days for new students who are living in on-campus residence halls will take place between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18 through Sunday, Aug. 21. Students select their own move-in dates and times using the housing portal. Check the fall housing page to learn more, including information about COVID-19 mitigation measures. We want you to be as healthy as you can be and feel safe while you’re learning your way around campus. In this newsletter, we’ll talk about a number of free physical and mental health services available to you, and we hope you will take advantage of them. We strive to instill a sense of security and well-being for the entire community, from the emergency blue lights around campus to the community service officers who are the eyes and ears of UC Merced. Just one more newsletter left after this one, then we will see you on campus in August!
