Administrators said as more COVID-19 vaccines become available and with proper safety measures in place, they're hoping to bring more students, faculty and staff members back to the campuses.
Implementation will be left up to each university, and they'll have to work with local health departments, officials added.
UC Merced officials said they're planning to follow the UC's lead and have more students return to campus, including its residence halls and dining halls. The university said it would provide more information to students as they become available.
