Fall quarter is already wrapping up! Soon, it will be time for winter break. Finals week is December 8-12. Here’s what you need to know about preparing your student for finals week and winter break.
Residence hall closure
Residence halls will be closing at noon on December 13, 2025. Your student will need to be packed up and out of the residence hall by that time. They’ll receive a checklist with further information on what to do before leaving as we get closer. Residence halls will open back up at 8 am on January 2, 2026.
We hope you’re thriving in your new home and enjoying all that being an Aggie has to offer! With fall quarter in full swing, now is the perfect time to start preparing your winter quarter schedule.

Student Housing has identified hotels in the Davis area that can accommodate our students’ housing needs during Winter Break. We have negotiated a discounted nightly rate, which the student will be responsible for paying. Availability is limited and provided on a first-come, first-served basis. The rate is $99/Night, breakfast and parking is included.
Hopefully, you’re starting to settle into life at UC Davis. To help you feel more at home, let’s talk about how to build a community for yourself here on campus.
Attend Events
Want to watch a movie or attend a silent disco? We’ve got events for you! Attending events is a great way to get out and meet new people.
November Drink of the Month at the CoHo: The Ruby Chai This refreshing iced chai latte blends warm, comforting spices with a cool autumn twist, topped with a smooth, ruby-hued Pomegranate Cold Foam.
Student Affairs is inviting students to participate in a focus group to share their thoughts and experiences. Complete the short form by October 24 to indicate your interest and select a date and time that fits your schedule. All participants who are selected and attend a focus group will receive a $15 CoHo gift card. Share your thoughts.
Commuting on campus is changing rapidly with the growing use of e-bikes, e-scooters and other micromobility devices. These bring both greater accessibility and safety concerns. We’ve seen a fivefold increase in scooter-related crashes in the past 15 months, making safe riding more important than ever. Campus is installing new speed limit signage and markings and will be launching an education and compliance program later this fall to promote safer riding habits.
