How to Apply for University Housing
Students accepting the offer of admission to UC Santa Cruz must complete the online acceptance process at my.ucsc.edu. During this multi-step acceptance process you will be asked to:
- Rank your top five
UCSC college preferences. You
may also choose to indicate “no
preference,” as many students do,
meaning you will be fine with any of
our 10 colleges.
- Indicate a preference for university
housing and submit payment for
the required $150 advance housing fee.
The advance housing fee is applied to
your first quarter's housing charges
and is fully refundable if you cancel
your request for university housing by
your housing application deadline.
Once you have completed the acceptance process,
and after the acceptance deadline (May 1 for
frosh; June 1 for transfers), the Admissions
Office will assign you to a college.
The assignment takes into account available
space at each college and the preferences you
have indicated.
In mid-May for new frosh, and mid-June for
new transfer students, the Campus Housing
Office will send you a housing packet containing
information about your college affiliation,
a copy of the Terms and Conditions of
residence, and instructions for completing
the online housing application process. A space
in university housing is guaranteed to all
new undergraduate students entering in the
fall quarter who submit all forms and required
fees by stated deadlines. A specific college
assignment or housing option is not guaranteed.
The room options available
to you will differ, depending on which college
you’ve been
affiliated with and whether you are a new frosh
or a new transfer student. The colleges offer
two kinds of living accommodations—residence
halls and apartments—both with access
to common dining facilities. Nine of the colleges
have both residence halls and apartments, while
Kresge is all apartments. Except at Kresge and
Oakes, most new frosh live in residence halls.
In addition to the housing options available
at the colleges, new transfer students are also
eligible to live at The Village, University Inn,
or University Town Center.
Note: If you have indicated a preference for
finding your own off-campus housing, you will
be mailed information about the Community
Rentals Office.
