Note: Please allow for extra time before your appointment in the event of expected transportation delays.
The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Union (AFSCME)–which represents University of California employees who work in patient care, dining, custodial, transportation and other service areas–has announced it will hold a systemwide labor strike November 20–21 at all UC campuses and medical centers.
The Student Health Center will continue to operate, although there may be a reduced number of appointments during the strike period. Students are encouraged to contact or visit the health center for urgent concerns.
All cases will be promptly assessed and triaged. If same-day appointments are unavailable, students may be referred to nearby urgent care facilities to receive timely assistance. For support, students can call the 24/7 free nurse advice line at (831) 459–2591. For more details about off-campus healthcare resources, please visit the after-hours healthcare webpage.
Up-to-date information for the campus community will be published on the UC Santa Cruz website at ucsc.edu/status.
