Dear Student:
COVID-19 has impacted CSUCI students in a multitude of ways and we recognize that conducive study space and access to reliable Wi-Fi is an essential need for students.
As Ventura County has seen more opening of activity, CSUCI is now offering outdoor on-campus study spaces for students! Open Monday – Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Two types of spaces are available:
- Outdoor seating at tables at the Islands Café patio (additional spaces will be opened, if needed)
- A2 Parking Lot (between Sage and Yuba Halls) with enhanced Wi-Fi for students who wish to study in their car
Each study space provides a physically distanced area that students may reserve. Sanitizing supplies to make it a clean and comfortable experience for students will also be provided.
Interested in using an on-campus study space? Let us know by completing the Outdoor Study Space Interest Form. There are some requirements that must be met to use on-campus spaces, please see below.
We hope this opportunity will be beneficial as we approach the final stretch of the semester!
Sincerely,
Cindy Derrico, Ph.D.
Associate Vice President & Dean of Students
