Returning to campus: Police Department
In this brief video, the UCI Police Department describes public safety services at both the Irvine campus and the Medical Center. Please visit https://police.uci.edu/ for information on community engagement activities, safety escorts, safety brochures and more.
Noncompliance response procedures
COVID-19 campus procedures and executive directives are intended to keep the UCI community healthy by limiting the spread of COVID-19. Members of the UCI community are expected to behave in ways that respect the health of others. Nevertheless, it is also understood that mistakes and lapses in compliance or intentional noncompliance may occur. Generally, such issues should be addressed with care and understanding. The overarching goal when addressing noncompliance is to deescalate, rather than intensify, a situation. This table lists sample responses to incidents of noncompliance.
Bilingual Boomtown
With several faculty dedicated to research on bilingualism and a new bilingual specialization in its teacher preparation program, the UCI School of Education is addressing the educational needs for a variety of underrepresented students across the nation. The School's new Bilingual Authorization Program, introduced this summer, trains teacher candidates to become leaders in K-12 dual immersion schools.
