CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATE

Due to concerns around the COVID-19 virus, UC Merced leadership has decided to cancel all tours until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

After detailed and thoughtful discussion, we believe this is the best decision for our students, staff and guests. We feel it is important to look out for one another and to do what is best for global and UC Merced communities.

If you would like to reschedule your group tour, please contact Welcome Center coordinator Juan Román at 209-201-5601 or jroman4@ucmerced.edu.

Thank you,

UC Merced Welcome Center/Undergraduate Admissions
