The University cannot proactively share this information due to privacy concerns. We ask all members of our community to be respectful of each other’s privacy. We do want to assure our community that we are requiring all students, regardless of vaccination status, to wear face coverings indoors, in accordance with Santa Clara County protocols. Students who are not vaccinated will be required to wear face coverings indoors and test on a weekly basis.
Your resident meal plan starts 30 - 60 minutes after you are checked in by a University staff member.
In order to use your Resident Dining or Dining Plus meal plan points, you must use the mobile ordering app which can be downloaded from wherever you get your apps. You can use ordering kiosks with a credit card or visit a cashier with cash.
Great question! The Mobile Credential is simply the ACCESS credential information transferred to a smartphone to alleviate having to carry a physical card. You can use it to pay for things in person, open doors and even check out library books.
Mobile Ordering is simply an application that students download and use to place orders in advance for food items, new ACCESS credentials and even credential deposits, all from the convenience of their phone. Students avoid lines and delays because they pre-order a good or service, and are notified when their item is ready. Students must have an active physical credential (card) or mobile credential to use Mobile Ordering.
If you or your roommate test positive, the students directly impacted will receive direct communication from the COVID Support Team with instructions on how you will need to proceed. Processes may differ depending on the student's living situation, roommates, etc.
