Limited staff support is available for room configuration changes in the Gibeling and West conference rooms. Staffing is not available for mid-event room configuration changes unless approved in advance by the Graduate Center Manager.</p> <p>Clients shall observe all applicable policies of the Graduate Center, Conference and Event Services, and the University of California, Davis, including all local, state, and federal laws and ordinances. Clients shall only have the use of the facility for the sole purpose stated when reserved within the Event Management System. Clients shall not make any alterations to the facility, building systems or equipment. At the end of the event, the facility shall be left in a clean, safe condition. Client shall remove own property and materials from the facility, as well as those of Client’s performers, decorators and/or caterers. </p> <p>Any equipment/props/decorations left in the facility must have prior approval from Facility Management or it will be disposed of 48 hours following the event.</p> <h3>Building Hours</h3> <p>The Graduate Center is open 8:00 am - 7:00 pm Monday - Thursday, and 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Friday during the academic year (excluding university holidays). Summer hours are Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm (excluding university holidays).

Additionally, individual students may use meeting rooms when no reservations exist. See our Shared Study Space policy below for additional information. Graduate Students may not place reservations on behalf of other students or organizations. </p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Exceptions to this policy are only granted for qualifying examinations and exit seminar presentations.

However, all graduate students may use our common spaces and participate in events.</p> <p>Teaching Assistants: We ask that you host office hours in departmental space (which should be provided to all TA's) whenever possible.
