UC San Diego to offer some in-person classes, open dorms this fall

UC San Diego plans to conduct about 30% of classes in-person this fall, the university announced as it formally released its plans for the fall quarter. The university said it will open campus housing to students but, like other campuses across the UC system, will limit housing to single and double occupancy rooms. UC San Diego’s plans are in line with the plans of UC’s eight other undergraduate campuses, which have each said they will hold a limited number of in-person classes and reopen dorms for some students.

UC San Diego also is planning to conduct regular coronavirus testing of students. By doing widespread testing and using interventions such as isolation and quarantine, the university said it expects the program will “lessen the likelihood of a significant outbreak on campus.”
