Incomplete Message?

UCLA sent out a cellphone text alert yesterday (with a similar email) telling everyone who received it that they had 14 days prior to the start of fall instruction to submit proof of vaccination.

That deadline, however, is a bit ambiguous. Fall instruction for the general campus on the official UCLA calendar is September 23, and it would thus appear that the deadline is September 9. But some schools start earlier, e.g., the law school which begins in August. If the deadline date for everyone, regardless of program, is in fact Sept. 9, why not just say so?

You'll note that the message gives a link. An obvious link would have been one that led to a process to submit the proof needed. Or maybe a two-step process in which you first find out if UCLA already knows that you are vaccinated and, if it doesn't, then you upload the proof. But the link provided just goes to general information about all the coronavirus policies, FAQs, etc. 

If you poke around long enough after going to the link and all of its material, you will eventually find a process that allows you to visit the UCLA campus now. Yours truly was able to use that process to get himself a one-day pass to come to campus now. But does that mean that UCLA knows he is vaccinated for purposes of the Sept. 9 deadline? If you are allowed now, are you automatically allowed then? Who knows?
