*No te: Observance begins at sundo wn o n the preceding day. A ltho ugh M uslim Ho ly Days are always o n the same day o f the Islamic calendar, the date o n the
Grego rian calendar varies fro m year to year, since the Grego rian calendar is a so lar calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. This difference means
M uslim Ho ly Days mo ve in the Grego rian calendar appro ximately 11days every year. The date o f a M uslim Ho ly Day may also vary fro m co untry to co untry
depending o n whether the mo o n has been sighted o r no t. The dates pro vided here are based o n Timeanddate.co m. (Saudi A rabia). No te that these dates are
based o n astro no mical calculatio ns to affirm each date, and no t o n the actual sighting o f the mo o n with the naked eyes.
** In so me years, the start o f instructio n in Fall Quarter is delayed to co mply with the UC P o licy fo r A ddressing Religio us Ho liday Co nflicts with Residence Hall
M o ve-In Days . Fo r the same reaso n, the start o f instructio n in Winter Quarter is early in so me years.
