Reminders & Announcements

• Following his 31-year tenure as Chancellor, the longest term in University of California history, Chancellor Yang plans to step down at the end of the coming academic year and return to teaching, research, and service as a professor. Read the Chancellor’s message.
   
• Move-in to campus housing starts Thursday, September 19 through Sunday, September 22 for undergraduate students. Students will find the link to register for a move-in timeslot in their housing assignment email. Remember to bring your printable parking permit and encourage your student to get their Access ID to bring at check-in.
   
• Did you know The Club & Guest House is a 34-room boutique hotel conveniently located on campus with lagoon and ocean views? Accommodations are available for families of students and university-affiliated guests and room rates are all-inclusive, with no additional taxes or fees. Even if you're not staying overnight, consider joining us for lunch in the Dining Room where our seasonal menus highlight local, organic products whenever possible (open Monday-Friday from 11:30 am-1:30 pm). Next time you visit campus, we would love to have you stay, dine, meet, and gather at The Club & Guest House!
  
  
• Please encourage or remind your student to register to vote when they get to campus. Students who live in University housing will have an opportunity to register during their hall/floor/complex meetings during the first few days after Move-in. If your student is moving into an off-campus apartment or if their mailing address has changed, they will need to register or re-register with their new address. Registering to vote in Santa Barbara County with their University address is convenient and gives students the opportunity to vote on local issues and candidates.
