On-Campus Resources for Transfer Students
October 20-24 is National Transfer Student Week! To honor all of our amazing and dedicated transfer students, we’ve got some valuable information on what resources are available to you to help you succeed.
Transfer and Reentry Center
The Transfer and Reentry Center is your go-to resource. It assists all transfer students with any questions they may have, adjusting to life at UC Davis or finding a referral to address a specific issue or concern. They have information on scholarships, advising and a whole page of resources specific to transfer students. They also have plenty of events and workshops that range from fun, social outings to informational sessions.
They are located at 1210 Dutton Hall. Follow them on their Instagram at @trcucdavis to stay up to date.

Food pantry
The ASUCD Food Pantry states that no UC Davis student should miss a meal or live without basic necessities. The pantry’s goal is dedicated to addressing food insecurity among students and the Aggie Community. It’s an amazing resource for free groceries, food items, fresh produce, pantry staples and non-perishable goods.
How can you place an order?
- Order non-perishable items in advance.
- Walk-in (open every day! View the menu online).
- Find them at their mobile pantry.

Aggie Eats Food Truck
The Aggie Eats Food Truck gives students access to delicious, nutritious and healthy food, along with basic needs resources. It has a pay-what-you-want pricing, including $0, and no one knows what is paid. Any money that comes in goes right back into more meals for students.
Check out their website for the food truck location and schedule, or follow them on Instagram at @ucd_aggieeats.
Sage Street Market | Cafe
Sage Street Market | Cafe, located at The Green, is your neighborhood destination for your meal and grocery needs with a market, restaurant and coffee shop all in one location! With a large, open indoor and outdoor seating area and a laid-back atmosphere, they are the ideal spot for studying and hanging out while enjoying a meal or drink. The market provides well-stocked grocery and convenience items that consistently incorporate customer feedback to have what you need in stock. The restaurant, Bangin Bowls, offers a late-night dinner option that is Latin-inspired, fresh, tasty and nutritious, and the coffee shop offers premium Peet’s coffee, tea and pastries.
