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 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.

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. 

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. 

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.

Hello parents! Welcome to Student Housing and Dining Services’ blog series. Every month in the In the Know newsletter, we will have a blog about all things living and dining on campus. For this month, we want to prepare you and your student for what to expect from the residence halls and the dining commons. Let’s get to it. 

You are being invited to join a research study by the Energy Efficiency Institute (EEI) for residents of UC Davis campus housing. The study will attempt to understand the underlying causes of the difference in perceived quality of life and any correlation with resident carbon footprint, to improve future housing. Additionally, this study will try to understand the underlying causes of the difference in perceived quality of life and other social, physical and mental health aspects associated with it. 

Aggie Swipe Plus is a flexible meal plan. It will provide you access to the Dining Commons and Latitude Restaurant, you get to customize it to fit your needs.

Aggie Swipe Plus Meal Plan is available to the UC Davis Community and the public, and your swipes do not expire year after year.
