Continuing Students
Continuing student housing
Are you a current UCSC student interested in living in university housing for the next academic year? This page will guide you through the process when the next application cycle opens.
What to expect
Each year, continuing students who want to live in university housing must complete a housing application during the application period and, if eligible, they may participate in Room Selection. The process includes:
- A short application window
- The opportunity to form roommate groups
- A lottery for eligible students to select rooms, based on availability
- A housing waitlist for students who do not select a space
Planning for next year? You’re in the right place
We’re currently updating this page for the upcoming academic year. Dates, deadlines, and step-by-step instructions will be posted here once they’re available.
In the meantime:
- Talk with your current roommates or friends about your plans for next year
- Review our housing communities to explore where you might want to live
- Check your UCSC email—we’ll send announcements when the process opens
