A: Your Cal1Cards will give you access to the Law Building through the end of July so that you can study at the Law Building and use your locker until then. Please note that since you will no longer be enrolled students, main campus will not issue you a new Cal1Card if you lost it after you graduate. If you are leaving town before the end of July, please be sure to clean out your locker before you do so.

You should contact University Health Services (UHS) directly with any questions regarding student insurance or access to health services. This UHS website has helpful information and may answer your questions. UHS also has a website with information about insurance after graduation.
