University of California, Davis Housing Intelligence

UC Davis’s published instructions for freshmen entering in fall quarter say to submit the Statement of Intent to Register (SIR), then watch for the housing email explaining how to access the application. The Housing Application may take up to 24 hours after SIR submission to become available. Apply through the myHousing Portal; applicants under 18 must have their parent and/or guardian electronically sign the contract as guarantor. Submit the signed contract and application; the page says an email copy of the contract is sent once submitted. The actual housing-contract deadline appears in the application and invitation email. The page describes a typical mid-March–April application period and a deadline usually within one or two days of the SIR deadline, rather than giving a confirmed current-cycle date. Students who submit their SIR after the campus deadline or housing application after its deadline are offered housing based on available space; the page directs questions to Student Housing and links its waitlist process.

Source record: 2026-10-18. These are the published residence-hall application instructions for freshmen entering in fall quarter, defined on the page as students entering UC Davis for the first time who attended high school in the previous year. The page is marked Last Updated December 4, 2025 and contains an older returning-student cohort reference; no current academic year is inferred from its copyright footer or the October 2026 retrieval. This explains the published start and submission sequence, not a housing guarantee or a completed application. No student portal, invitation email, current deadline, signed contract, waitlist details, eligibility decision, fee or actual space was verified. Up to 24 hours and usually one or two days are the page’s qualified timing descriptions, not an individual access or deadline promise.

No current academic year or individual deadline is inferred from the copyright footer or October 2026 retrieval.

UC Davis’s guarantee page for students entering in fall quarter 2026 says freshmen must be under the age of 24 to qualify for guaranteed housing. Freshmen aged 24 and older should contact Student Housing and Dining Services about their housing options. This is an age condition within that published student guarantee. It does not establish that a student who meets the age condition has met every other requirement: the page also requires fall-quarter entry, compliance with all UC Davis and Student Housing and Dining Services deadlines, and adherence to the housing contract’s terms and residential policies. In its stated COVID-19-pandemic context, the page says UC Davis may withdraw or amend the guarantee in the case of public-health guidance or other extenuating circumstances.

Source record: 2026-10-18. This is the page’s expressly stated fall-quarter-2026 guarantee, marked Last Updated March 31, 2026. It does not establish a guarantee for a later entering class or that applications remain open now. No individual student’s age, eligibility, deadlines, contract, assignment or available housing was checked. Students aged 24 or older are directed to the university for options; that contact route does not itself promise eligibility or a room.
