*In some years, the start of instruction in Fall Quarter is delayed to comply with theUC Policy for Addressing Religious Holiday Conflits
with Residence Hall Move-In Days . For the same reason, the start of instruction in Winter Quarter is early in some years.
**Note: Observance begins at sundown on the preceding day. Although Muslim Holy Days are always on the same day of the Islamic
calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar and the Islamic
calendar is a lunar calendar. This difference means Muslim Holy Days move in the Gregorian calendar approximately 11 days every
year. The date of a Muslim Holy Day may also vary from country to country depending on whether the moon has been sighted or not.
The dates provided here are based on Timeanddate.com. (Saudi Arabia). Note that these dates are based on astronomical calculations
to affirm each date, and not on the actual sighting of the moon with the naked eye.
