The University considers multiple factors in setting the academic calendar, including efforts to avoid conflicts between major
religious holidays and "Move-In" dates for campus resident halls. See University of California policy.
Add the Quarterly Academic Calendar to your Apple, Google, or Outlook Calendar.
To avoid conflicting with Rosh Hashanah, instruction for the 2014-15 academic year begins October 2. To accommodate this later start date,
the Winter holiday is set for December 22-January 1. -->
