More than $7 million in merit scholarships is available for continuing students from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.

As returning, new and transfer students make their way to UC Davis this fall, invariably one of the first things they seek out, after completing finishing touches in their room decor of course, is finding a part-time job. While getting a job around campus is as common a rite of passage as a picture with an egghead statue, it can be fraught with missteps, misinformation or mistakes.
As the new school year approaches, the campus is buzzing with excitement as students make their way back. This is the perfect opportunity for parents to explore the many resources UC Davis offers to support their students’ health, safety, and success. It’s also a wonderful moment for me to introduce myself as the new associate director of development for parent giving.
Mention First-Year Seminars to UC Davis students and alumni and you’ll most likely hear a positive recollection. Recalling his time in a Sports Law First-Year Seminar, Scott Judson said he still remembers his experience 18 years ago.
WELCOME, NEW AGGIES! These celebratory and casual gatherings are intended to bring together incoming parents and family members from similar regions to meet each other and ask questions. This year we are excited to offer Family Welcome events for the following regions:
Among the many reasons I appreciate UC Davis, is the emphasis the university places on creating an atmosphere where students feel accepted, recognized, and supported. June is Pride Month, and it’s the perfect opportunity to support the UC Davis programs and services you care about—along with helping our community members feel the support and acceptance they deserve.
UC Davis offers two six-week Summer Sessions, beginning in June and running through September. Registration remains open now for both sessions and closes June 28 for Session I and Aug. 9 for Session II. Enrolling in summer classes saves on tuition and fees paid during the academic year and shortens time to degree completion. Out-of-state and international students pay the same tuition rate as in-state students during the summer. The university offers hundreds of class options from all four undergraduate colleges.
Summertime is here! There are many ways to make the next 10-12 weeks of break fun, and also productive! With students having more time on their hands, summer is a great time for career exploration like exploring their interests, identifying their skills and researching potential professional development opportunities.
Students staying in Davis over the summer see a different side of the university. It’s warmer, but quieter, and students can enroll in a wide variety of summer classes during the break from the usual hustle and bustle of bicycles, buses and foot traffic.
With over 700 courses offered, participating in UC Davis Summer Sessions allows students access to smaller classes and the option to pursue other opportunities during the academic year. Students can also complete a second major, fulfill a minor, or complete a lab course without having 3-4 other classes to focus on at the same time.
