How to Apply for Housing

Application

Demand for on campus housing has historically exceeded our ability to accommodate applicants. If the need for housing space exceeds the number of housing contracts that are available, housing will be offered to incoming students via a lottery system.

Applications for housing are separate from any other application process. Expressing interest in student housing via CSU Mentor or stating that you anticipate on-campus housing on financial aid forms does not initiate a housing application.

Incoming Freshmen for the 2012 - 2013 academic year may apply from March 1st, through March 22nd, to be a part of our initial lottery. Beginning on March 23rd, a waitlist of interested students will begin.

Only admitted students may apply for housing.

If all admitted students who applied between March 1st and March 22nd have received a housing offer and space is still available, we will offer license agreements to those on the waitlist. Students will be offered space on a first come, first served basis, in the order of application.

To apply, follow the instructions on this page. Once your application is successfully submitted, you will receive a confirmation email to your CSUF email account. License agreements will be extended on April 9th, 2012 and will be due back to our office by the close of business on April 27th, with a $350 initial payment.

Transfer Students transferring into Cal State Fullerton may begin applying on March 1st. These applicants will be offered space on a first come, first served basis. To apply, follow the instructions on this page. Once your application is successfully submitted, you will receive a confirmation email to your CSUF email account. License agreements will be extended on April 9th, 2012 and will be due back to our office by the close of business on April 27th, with a $350 initial payment.

Current CSUF Students The application for current CSUF opens on February 6th. Applications will be evaluated based on the date and time that the application is submitted. To apply, follow the instructions on this page.

While space is always limited in student housing, on campus housing is most readily available for fall semester. License Agreements are offered for the entire academic year, August through May. Spaces may become available during the contract period for various reasons. When this happens we will invite students on the waitlist into the student housing community.
