Bay Area Part-Time MBA Campus Ready Plan

Keeping our community safe and healthy will require patience, consideration and empathy. We know Graduate School of Management community members are up for the challenge. Welcome to a new academic year.

Fall 2020 Instruction - November 24, 2020

Fall instruction is scheduled to be remote. Winter instruction is scheduled to be remote as well. If allowed by campus, county and state guidelines, we will have in-person classes. Currently, guidelines limit in-person instruction due to the county being in a Widespread tier according to the state restrictions on reopening non-essential indoor business operations. The GSM is operating at a Red Status: Suspended Operations due to these restrictions. We will provide updates weekly.

Bishop Ranch-Bay Area campus
COVID-19 Safety Guidelines

Welcome to UC Davis Graduate School of Management. In collaboration with central campus and adhering to Contra Costa County and state guidelines, we have established the following protocol for your safety and safety of the community. 

Entering the Building

Before you arrive at Bishop Ranch, please candidly assess how you are feeling. DO NOT COME TO CAMPUS IF YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL. Err on the side of caution. Your instructors and GSM leaders will not penalize you for staying home.

While on campus, we expect you to follow these guidelines:

• Wear a face covering at all times.
• Maintain social distancing of six feet from other individuals.
• A Daily Symptom survey, which you will complete via a smartphone app.
• The GSM is providing the use of hand sanitizer upon entry to the building as well as providing hand sanitizing stations throughout the suite for your convenience.
• Stay home if you are sick.

Building Hours for Faculty, Staff and Students

Faculty and staff have access to Bishop Ranch. The building will be closed to the public and students during this time until further notice.

Classrooms

As of September 1, 2020, Graduate School of Management classes are being delivered remotely until further notice. In order to prioritize student study spaces for our cleaning and disinfecting efforts, at this time, classrooms are closed and unavailable for use.

Restrooms

Bishop Ranch restrooms are available for use. Please be considerate. Wash your hands thoroughly. Try to avoid using handles in the restroom spaces. The restrooms will be disinfected and cleaned frequently.

Shared Spaces

Please do not congregate in the interior corridors. You will see that casual seating throughout the building has been taped off. All of these barriers are there to keep our community safe and healthy. Please do not ignore or tamper with them.

We encourage you to take conversations outside the building. Fresh air and additional space for social distancing create a safer environment for discussion. 

If you would like to reserve a meeting room for individual student study space, please contact Sergio Esquerre.

Commons Area (1st and 2nd floor)

The commons areas were designed to foster collegial congregation. We all look forward to using them that way again. In the meantime, please observe all signs and barriers.

You must wear a face-covering inside the building at all times. Our staff will be cleaning the commons area regularly and shared spaces.

Elevators and Stairs

Please read the signs providing specific instructions for the elevators and stairs.
