Happy family

Thank you for your interest in UC Davis! Most UC Davis students have parental involvement in their education. We’ve created this set of resources to assist you as you help your student in the college evaluation process.

Start by getting to know us. Even the most academically powerful university may not be a perfect match for your son or daughter, so we encourage you to use our Web site to familiarize yourself with our academic and institutional strengths, then visit our campus to discover for yourself if UC Davis is a good fit. We think you'll find our campus safe and friendly, while offering all the benefits of a respected research university.

  • Visit our campus and take a tour, attend a campus event, catch a show at the Mondavi and visit our farmers' market or stroll through our arboretum.
  • Take a look at our Aggie Family Pack Web site to find out what other parents are talking about.
  • UC Davis is committed to keeping our students safe through programs such as our Residence Hall Watch Program, the Cal Aggie Host Escort Service, and our campus Police and Fire Departments.
