In an announcement to the UC Riverside campus, Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox announced that instruction will be delivered remotely for the first two weeks of the winter quarter. He cited the emergence of the Omicron variant and the start of the quarter taking place just after the New Year’s holiday. 

The campus will remain open during this period and in-person instruction is expected to begin the week of Jan. 17. 

More details are available in Chancellor’s Wilcox’s campus message, and in a follow-up communication to the faculty by Provost Elizabeth Watkins and Academic Senate Chair Jason Stajich. 

Additional COVID and return-to-campus related communications are available on the UCR Campus Return website.
