If you prefer that any or all information about you not be released to the public, you may request that it be maintained by the University in confidence. Students requesting such restrictions should be aware of the implications of limiting public access to information. If a student's last instruction to the campus is to withhold from disclosure the degree granted, that information cannot be confirmed for a third party such as an employer or graduate school. Parking permits are only sold to people who live at least one mile from campus. There are also many private daycare and afterschool care options in Santa Barbara.
Some students do bring their children to campus and into classes.
Be sure to check with the professor before doing this if possible. There is no University sick-child care available. Some people have private arrangements with friends or relatives. If necessary, you may bring your child to class with the permission of the instructor, usually if the child is not disruptive. For students who are parents, the Office of Student Life provides an Emergency Locator Service for their children.
