Dear Seventh College Residents,

We hope that you have been well. On August 24, 2021, we shared with you the Part I email which
provided information about your room assignment. In this Part II email, we will be sharing with you
information about directions to campus, move-in and testing instructions, and the Seventh College
neighborhood map. We hope that these resources will be helpful with your transition to Seventh
College.

MOVE-IN DAY
Move-in will be staggered over a 10-day period, beginning Sept. 11 through 21, 2021. As a reminder,
students need to sign-up for testing and move-in through the MyRoomAssignment page by September 2,
2021. Your specific move-in date/time is designed to help make your move-in a smooth process. Any
changes to that move-in date/time may result in longer waiting periods for traffic, parking and
checking-in. Therefore, allow yourself ample time to navigate campus and account for traffic or other
delays. Please note that if you miss your reserved time and the testing site is closed, you will not be
permitted to move in until the testing center opens the following morning.

    ●    You are welcome to have two individuals to help you with your move. These two individuals are
         considered to be your move-in party.
    ●    As a reminder, you and your move-in party must wear a facial covering throughout the move-in
         process and when moving about campus, regardless of vaccination status.
    ●    Elevator use is restricted to one student and their move-in party at any given time.

DRIVING AND PARKING INSTRUCTIONS
Students should arrive in one vehicle with no more than two members of their moving party. Areas of
the campus will be congested with move-in traffic, especially during the weekends, so expect some
delays and/or limited accessibility to parking adjacent to the living areas.
    ● Enter Campus via the North Point Drive entrance; take a right turn and proceed south on
        Scholars Drive North (see below for the Seventh College Driving Directions).

●   All residents should be dropped off in front of Seventh West Building 2. Residents, please be
        ready to exit your vehicle and proceed to North Break (see map for reference) for your testing
        and check-in (Residents need to have their ID and QwikPass). While residents get tested and
        checked-in, their moving party will be directed to park their vehicle.
    ●   After dropping off residents, vehicles will proceed to park in lot 357. You will have 45 minutes to
        park and complete your move-in process.
    ●   Seventh College will have a limited number of moving carts to check out. Please promptly return
        your moving cart after unloading items to your assigned room.

                                      RESIDENT CHECK-IN PROCESS
STEP ONE: TESTING
   ● Testing will take place between 8:30am and 3:30pm in NorthBreak. Students who arrive prior to
       their appointment will be asked to return at the correct time. There will be no opportunities to
       arrive later than the latest time. You will need to secure housing accommodations off campus at
       your own expense if you are not tested on your move-in date.
   ● When residents are dropped off in front of Seventh West, Building 2, they will follow directional
       signs that will lead to a building called NorthBreak, in Seventh West, Building 3.
            ○ We ask that only residents proceed to NorthBreak to minimize the number of people
                inside the building.
            ○ While residents are getting tested and checked-in, the move-in party may help by
                unloading items from their parked vehicle and taking them to the building that their
                student is assigned to (There will be limited moving carts available to check out).
   ● Upon arriving at NorthBreak, residents will receive a free SARS-CoV-2 test as the first step of the
       move-in process. Members of your move-in party will not be tested.
   ● Testing must be completed prior to picking up your keys from Residence Life, which will also be
       stationed in NorthBreak.
   ● Note: For students coming to campus who are completing their first-ever UC San Diego
       COVID-19 test, they must log in to MyStudentChart using their AD credentials prior to arriving to
       campus. After the SARS-CoV-2 test is completed upon move-in, residents can then use the
       self-administered vending machine testing kits distributed throughout the campus.

STEP TWO: KEYS
   ● After completing your SARS-Co-V-2 test, you will need to check in with Residence Life, which will
       also be located in NorthBreak, to pick up your keys. Please have your valid ID and QwikPass
       ready to receive your keys.

PHASE I and PHASE II - POST MOVE-IN PRECAUTIONS
   ● After students are tested and move into their campus residence, they will need to limit their
       movement and interactions for a period of time. UC San Diego asks all students to follow
       additional precautions during the first few weeks after arrival to minimize the chance of any
       student inadvertently introducing the virus into the community.

●   Because SARS-CoV- 2, the virus which causes COVID-19, may not result in an infection for up to
        14 days after an exposure and because many may not develop symptoms when infected and are
        potentially infectious to others, all residents agree to a Phase I and Phase II protocol upon
        move-in.
    ●   Phase I requires an in-person COVID test (SARS-CoV-2 test) upon arriving at campus during
        move-in.
            ○ Additional self-administered tests are required on Day 5 and 10 after moving in.
            ○ During Phase I, masking in residential units is required at all times except in one’s
                 personal bedroom or while in the shower.
    ●   Phase II will be announced after all testing requirements are completed, results are available and
        conditions on campus and San Diego indicate this can be done safely. In Phase II, residents will
        no longer be required to wear masks within their apartment.
    ●   Whether in Phase I or II, students are not allowed to visit other residential units, and visitors and
        guests are not allowed in residential buildings.

NOTE: Adjacent to the Residence Life Office in Seventh West Building 2 is the Self-Test Kit vending
machine where you can access your Phase I testing on Days 5 and 10 after move-in.

                                 INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR APARTMENT
    ●   Custodial staff will be cleaning the Seventh College Apartments regularly throughout the
        academic year. You will receive information about who your custodian is and what day they will
        be cleaning your apartment after you move-in. Please try to have your countertops clear of
        personal items in the bathroom and kitchen on those cleaning days.
    ●   Custodians will provide toilet paper and trash liners on their designated cleaning days. If you
        should need more on a different day, you may call customer services to request more at
        858-534-2600. Your apartment will also include a spray bottle, paper towels, and rag. If you need
        a refill for your spray bottle, contact customer service and they will provide you with a refill.
    ●   Although your apartment has a kitchen, it does not come with a microwave

                THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR KEEPING YOUR FELLOW TRITONS SAFE!!!

We highly recommend reviewing these resources:
   ● Return to Learn Program: Learn about the university-wide strategy that enables a safe return to
       campus based on results from regular COVID-19 testing of students, faculty and staff.
   ● Housing, Dining and Hospitality’s COVID-19 FAQs ; this may help to answer a lot of your
       questions regarding living on-campus.
   ● County of San Diego Health and Human Services
   ● Information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on masks/face coverings, living
       in shared housing and daily activities/going out

We all understand that times continue to be uncertain given the constant changes with this pandemic,
but one thing is certain: The health and wellness of our community depends on everyone supporting one
another. As you finalize travel plans and preparation for the academic year, take care, be kind, stay safe,
and we’ll see you soon!
