You May Stay…And We Will Serve 

As communicated by Chancellor Wilcox, the campus needs to reduce population density on campus because public health officials tell us this is the best way to limit the spread of COVID-19.  If you can return home, we therefore encourage you to do so and to take your personal belongings with you as outlined below.  We understand that there are a number of you who must remain on campus for various reasons.  You are welcome to stay and we will continue to provide services in a modified manner that fits the requirements set by public health authorities and the State of California to protect all of us. 

Contract Cancellations & Move-out

In these uncertain times---including the fact that some of your principal reasons for living on campus are looking very different at the moment---we understand that many of you may want to return home to family.

You will not be charged any penalties to cancel your housing contract.  Spring Quarter rent or room/board fees---including those you may have paid in advance---will be prorated as appropriate and refunded to you minus any applicable fees for damage and/or cleanliness.  If you are receiving Financial Aid and return home during the Spring Quarter, it is important that you visit http://financialaid.ucr.edu to learn how your aid may or may not be affected and any additional steps you may need to take. 

• If you are currently still on campus and decide it is best for you to leave, please follow these simple steps:
  1. Submit a Contract Cancellation Request online at MyHousing.ucr.edu by March 27, 2020.
  2. Remove all personal belongings and trash from your room or apartment and properly clean your assigned space.
  3. Place your keys in a move-out envelope provided at your RSO.  Label the envelope with your full name, SID, and building name.  Drop this envelope into the drop-slot at your RSO.
• If you have already physically left the campus, but your personal belongings remain on campus, please follow these steps:
  1. Submit a Contract Cancellation Request online at MyHousing.ucr.edu by March 27, 2020.
  2. Make plans to return to campus as soon as you are able in order to retrieve your personal belongings, remove trash from and properly clean your assigned space. 

Please bring any sanitizing aids that you may need to make you feel more comfortable while moving out.

You will not be cited during move-out as long as you park in a legitimate parking space or along a nearby street curb. 

1. 3. Before leaving campus, place your keys in a move-out envelope provided at your RSO.  Label the envelope with your full name, SID, and building name.  Drop this envelope into the drop-slot at your RSO.

Dining Services

• The A-I Residential Restaurant is now closed for the remainder of the academic year.
• Meals are tentatively scheduled to be served dine-out style at Lothian Residential Restaurant and The Market @ Glen Mor.   

• As the number of residents in campus housing continues to decrease, dining venues will also be consolidated.  It is critical that you check the http://dining.ucr.edu website to confirm the exact times and locations we will be serving meals during Finals Week, Spring Break (if you have been approved to stay), and Spring Quarter.

Again, we are sorry that so many of you will not be able to fully experience the things you were eagerly anticipating this academic year.  Whether you are on campus or away from campus, uncertain situations can be isolating and distressing. But you are not alone.  If you need help, ask for it by reaching out to your Resident Director. You may have a question that we have not yet anticipated, or a need of which we are not fully aware. We are here to support you.  We thank you for your patience as our community continues to navigate this experience together.

If you have other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at (951)827-6350 or housinginfo@ucr.edu.

Continued good luck in Spring Quarter.  Stay well.
