The UCSB campus, including the Visitor Center, is currently closed. We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and county health guidelines. Visitors are not permitted on campus outside of designated Coastal Access Areas by order of the California Department of Public Health. Campus-wide updates can be viewed on the COVID-19 information page. As the situation evolves, we will post updates to this site. In light of our closure, check out these virtual opportunities to learn more about UCSB.
