The University of California Los Angeles announced on Saturday that it will be conducting remote classes for both undergraduate and graduate students until January 17. This decision was made in response to the significant challenges posed by the ongoing fires in the area.
An email sent to students emphasized that the safety and well-being of the community are the top priorities. Students can expect to receive further instructions from their instructors, and employees are encouraged to work remotely whenever possible.
The email also called for continued flexibility and understanding from everyone involved as they navigate through these challenging circumstances.
UCLA, situated in LA's Westwood neighborhood, is one of the largest universities in the state, catering to over 46,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
Recent evacuation warnings have been issued for an area near the campus, prompting a campus alert advising students to be prepared to evacuate if necessary, even though the campus itself is not currently under an evacuation order.
