When You Arrive
When you arrive, please check in at the Conference Housing Desk in Thoreau Hall. The desk closes at 11:00pm each night; if you plan to arrive after this time, please use the call box located outside the entrance to Thoreau Hall to page a staff member for assistance.

Keys
You will receive a key upon check in that will unlock exterior building entrances as well as the door to your room; halls are locked at all times. Please be sure to carry your key with you and lock your door. If you are locked out of your room or building, you may check out a temporary key from the service desk. There is a $50 replacement charge for unreturned and lost keys.

Parking
Parking is available in the Cuarto complex at no charge during your stay. Parking on campus requires a parking permit. A long-term campus permit can be obtained through Transportation & Parking Services Online Store [TAPS] or by visiting their office; daily permits are available at parking lot dispensers.

Computer Access/ResNet
In keeping with students' technological needs, Conference Housing offers all our residents direct Internet access and basic cable television service through ResNet. This high speed access network provides computer access to the Internet through our Ethernet connection, which is up to 200 times faster than modem connections. Cable television service offered to Student Housing residents carries local commercial broadcast stations, a limited number of non-premium cable channels [CNN, CSPAN, ESPN, MTV] and four Student Housing channels which offer announcements of interest to students and summer guests.

Desk Services
Services available from desk staff include campus maps, sports equipment, maintenance, and custodial assistance. Desks are staffed daily from 7am-11:00pm [530/752-7986], and after-hours assistance is available by calling 530/752-2900.

Summer session residents may receive mail at the following address:

Incoming mail can be picked up at the Summer Mail Room, located in the Segundo Services Center, Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. Residents will receive mail notification notices on their door. Mail is not available for pick up on weekends.

Laundry
Card operated washers and dryers are available in each complex as are detergent dispensers. A limited number of irons are available to check out from the service desk.

Custodial Services
The residence halls are serviced by custodial staff who work daily to keep community spaces, public bathrooms, hallways, and stairwells clean and looking nice. Excessive messes caused by community members will not be cleaned by custodial staff, and residents may incur additional charges for such infractions.

Residents are responsible for the upkeep of their rooms. To help keep individual rooms and the community clean, residents can check out cleaning equipment and supplies at area service desks — this is shared equipment that should be returned after each use.

Maintenance and Repair
Repair and maintenance issues should be directed to the Thoreau Desk or on-call staff for urgent repairs when the desk is closed. Maintenance staff are available weekdays from 8am-3:30pm, and can respond to most requests within two working days; emergency repairs will be handled the same day.

Fire Safety
Residence halls are protected by an excellent fire detection and response system. Each room is equipped with fire detection equipment which, when triggered, initiates full and immediate response from UC Davis Fire Department, which also supports a HazMat unit and EMS technicians. Because of the sensitivity of this equipment, electric cooking appliances are prohibited in all halls. Guests found to have tampered with fire safety equipment will be billed.

Upon checking into your room, please familiarize yourself with available exits and placement of fire alarm pull boxes. If you discover a fire, pull the alarm and immediately leave the building through the nearest exit.
