Next Steps

 

Now that you have learned about the different housing options available, take these next steps to complete your online housing application/contract.

You must use a registered CruzID (the first part of your UCSC email address) and Gold password to log in to the Housing Portal. To manage your CruzID, please visit cruzid.ucsc.edu.

Log in to studenthousing.ucsc.edu to apply for housing and rank your preferred housing and meal plan options.

Once assigned to housing your application becomes a legally binding contract that is valid for the entire academic year. If your plans change and you are no longer interested or able to live in university housing, you must log in to studenthousing.ucsc.edu to cancel your housing application/contract.
