Following UC Santa Barbaraâs decision to provide housing in a limited capacity for Winter Quarter 2020, 1,000 undergraduate students are moving into university-owned apartment buildings in Isla Vista beginning this Friday. All undergraduate residence halls remain closed.
Unlike in years past, only 10 to 20 students will move in per hour to adhere to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines.
