The UC Office of the President has updated the draft vaccination policy FAQs for students (PDF) and employees (PDF). If the policy is adopted:

Vaccines authorized by the World Health Organization administered consistent with your country’s implementation will be accepted as proof of vaccination.
If you cannot come back to campus 3-4 weeks before school starts and cannot get vaccinated in your country, you will be allowed on campus but will be referred to a vaccine site to get vaccinated immediately and may be subject to special safety measures such as masking, more frequent testing and/or quarantine.
