RE: UCSB Move-In Operations
Thursday, September 21st through Sunday, September 24th
Transportation & Parking Services along with our HDAE partners would like to share with you information on the upcoming UCSB Move-In operations that will impact parking in several campus areas beginning Thursday, September 21st and continuing through Sunday, September 24th. Due to the high volume of vehicles on campus, traffic congestion will be noticeably higher throughout these four days.
Several campus parking lots will be closed and reserved for the Move-In operations in order to safely and efficiently move in thousands of students.
Thursday, September 21st and Friday, September 22nd the following parking lots will be closed and reserved for Move-In operations:
East Campus Parking Lots 2, 4, 5, 8 and 9 will be closed. Limited parking will be available to staff wishing to access the east campus on these dates in Parking Lots 1 and 3 and Parking Structure 10.
Parking Lot 23, near The Club and Guest House, will also be closed, except for parents accessing the parking lot for the Children’s Center. Parking Structure 22 will remain open but will be impacted.
Parking Lots 65 (Sierra Madre), 58 and 59 (Santa Catalina) will be closed on Friday, September 22nd.
Saturday, September 23rd and Sunday, September 24th the following parking lots will be closed and reserved for Move-In operations:
East Campus Parking Lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 will be closed. Limited parking will be available to staff wishing to access the east campus on these dates in Parking Lot 1 and Parking Structure 10. It is recommended you avoid the Channel Islands Halls (Anacapa, San Miguel, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa and San Nicolas) due to heavy traffic.
Parking Lot 23, near The Club and Guest House, will be closed. Parking Structure 22 will be heavily impacted.
Parking Lot 65 (Sierra Madre), Parking Lots 58 and 59 (Santa Catalina) will be closed.
Additionally, a majority of Parking Lot 30 will be restricted all day Saturday, September 23rd in preparation for a UCSB men’s soccer game that evening.
Parking Lots 16 and 18 (University Plaza) and Parking Lots 30 and 38 (athletic fields) will also be impacted by long-term parking for families participating in the Move-In activities.
To accommodate the high volume of vehicles moving into Santa Catalina, one lane of westbound El Colegio Road will be shut down to allow for curbside loading Thursday, September 21st through Sunday, September 24th. This closure has been approved by Santa Barbara County and will be staffed by professional traffic control contractors. Please use caution if traveling through the area.
We recommend avoiding travel to campus during this period of time if possible.
Housing, Dining & Auxiliary Enterprises is committed to providing a smooth and welcoming Move-In weekend for our new students. We appreciate your patience throughout this event.
