Important Campus Updates #6

Posted on

The Deans of Seaver College and the Caruso School of Law have communicated with students regarding the disposition of finals and the plans in place to support academic completion of the Fall 2024 term. If you have any questions about your academics, contact your Dean’s office. 

Based on the information received from Deans, some students may choose to leave campus and return home at this time. If you plan to leave campus for the remainder of the term, please note the following important reminders:

  • You may only leave campus via John Tyler Drive, turning right onto Pacific Coast Highway, continuing north on Pacific Coast Highway, or taking Kanan Dume Road to the 101 freeway.
  • Once you leave campus, law enforcement will likely prevent you from returning to campus until roadways are officially reopened. This may take several days depending on conditions. This also applies to students currently off campus looking to return to gather belongings. 
  • HRL staff and student leaders are required to remain on campus until officially released by HRL leadership. Your role is critical to assisting with end-of-term checkouts, the University’s emergency response plans, and ensuring a smooth transition for student residents. Please stay in contact with your supervisor.

While we are in regular communication with Southern California Edison (SCE), it remains unknown when power will be restored to the Malibu campus. SCE reports they must inspect their circuits before they can restore power, and need confirmation from response agencies that roads and conditions are safe before inspections can begin.  

In the event power remains off on the Malibu Campus at 4:30 PM today, students still on campus will once again be required to shelter in place in Payson Library or the Tyler Campus Center. Please follow instructions from HRL staff at that time and relocate to one of these locations. These areas will remain operational with food, water, power, communications, and staff throughout the night.  

Also, please note that additional fire flare-ups are possible, and first responders continue to respond to those as needed.
