COVID-19/Coronavirus Update
Like universities around the world, UC Santa Cruz is actively observing impacts of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and carefully adjusting to significant changes resulting from the health crisis. We are following health and safety guidelines to protect the well-being of the campus community.
We are working to balance our commitment to the residential experience while prioritizing the health and well-being of all students and the surrounding community. To allow us to significantly reduce our overall housing capacity and focus on a smaller on-campus population, all student rooms will be assigned as singles or doubles (no triples or quads). Residence hall rooms are being assigned as single-occupancy, while campus apartments may have a combination of single and double-occupancy bedrooms (apartments will have five or fewer total residents).

The residence halls (often referred to as dorms or dormitories), include both shared and private rooms; they typically house 15 to 50 students per floor and have common bathrooms.
Nine of the colleges have both residence halls and apartments, while Kresge College is all apartments.
Rooms are furnished and have window coverings. Each resident is provided an extra-long twin bed (39"x80"), a desk, a chair, and storage space such as wardrobe or closet. You will need to bring your own bedding (sheets, pillowcase, etc.), lamp, clock, and other personal items essential to your daily life.
