Housing and Dining Announcements

Winter Interim Break Housing

Residence halls will be closed during Winter Break and accommodations in the residence halls will not be available. Residence Halls close at Saturday, 12 pm on December 13, 2025 and will open on Friday at 8 am on January 2, 2026.

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.

We can help.  Sessions will include information about on-campus apartments for returning students, grad students and families, second year housing options in the residence halls, and how to submit your housing commitment.
