Remote Learning Spaces

If your course or section was originally scheduled for in-person instruction and was shifted to "remote" modality, the originally assigned classroom space should remain open and available (at the original meeting time) for you to use to attend the lecture remotely. Best practice: look up the course on the UCSC Class Search page (choose "All classes") to verify the classroom space and meeting times affiliated with the course.
