hello and welcome to uci student housing
we have been working hard over the
summer to make sure your transition onto
campus
is as easy as possible here is some
important information to keep in mind
for your arrival this fall
all students living on campus are
expected to comply with personal health
and wellness measures
in preparation for move-in we are asking
you to do your part
and help reduce exposure to the virus by
permitting only
two helpers on move-in day you and your
two helpers
will need to self-isolate for 10 to 14
days
prior to your arrival we will be
requiring residents to form zot pods for
14
days a zotpod is a small group of
residents within your building
that each resident will be assigned to
after move-in
zotpods minimize in-person interactions
between students
faculty and staff whether in your hall
dining facilities classrooms or other
locations on or off campus
once you have moved in staff will share
strategies to help all of us minimize
in-person interaction this includes
maintaining at least a six feet
physical distance between yourself and
others
students are expected to wear face
covering at all times while walking
around
in the community hallways entering a
public space
and when using a communal restroom
unless you're showering or brushing your
teeth
throughout the communities you will
notice occupancy signs which are to help
reduce the number of people in each
space
be sure to check the housing website for
updates related to move-in

permitted to eat within the facility
once you are finished with your reusable
to-go container make sure you bring them
back next time so we can clean
disinfect and reuse them
all moved in and ready to make some
friends do you have any ideas on how i
can meet others
as your ra i'll be hosting programs
throughout the year for you to get
connected with everyone in the hall
most programs will be over zoom so
like game nights like in-room scavenger
hunts
but there's a possibility that some
programs may be held outside while
practicing social distancing of course
that's awesome do you happen to know how
i can find out about these programs or
where i can sign up for them
for in-community programs be sure to
check your email and
the hall social media because you might
see invitations there
and for other campus organizations will
probably email you too about events
they're hosting and you can always join
other campus organizations to meet
people there too what happens if there
aren't any programs going on and i'm
starting to feel a little bit isolated
well here at uci we have a counseling
center that has a lot of great resources
to promote your mental health from
workshops to seminars and group therapy
sessions
there's a lot of great resources
available to you to make sure you stay
connected here at uci
wow it's so good to know that uci has so
many amazing resources available to me
do you know if i can bring my friends
over so after move-in
no guests are allowed in the halls or
your rooms however you can meet your
guests outside of the hall
that's definitely something i can do
living on campus will be different this
year
and some information may change from now
till the time you move in
