Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a meal plan?

Yes, all residents are required to choose a meal plan as part of their Student Housing License Agreement. Several options are available - see this page for details.

Can I change my meal plan once the semester starts?

In some circumstances, yes. See this page for details or to request a change.

I'm bringing my car; do I need a special parking permit?

Yes. Students living on campus who purchase a parking permit will automatically receive a Resident Parking Permit with different parking locations than a standard student permit. See Parking and Transportation for details.

If I have friends or family visiting, where can they park?

If your guests are visiting on a weekend, they can park in any standard parking space on campus after Friday at 5 p.m. until Monday at 7 a.m. During the week, guests can either purchase daily permits (see Parking and Transportation for more information), purchase a 1- or 2- hour permit from the machine behind the Housing Office, or park in designated 30-minute parking spots for short visits.

Can I change rooms?

In some situations, yes. Please note that, except in emergency cases, we don't start considering room change requests until after the second week of each semester. To request a room change, fill out the form here. We encourage you to speak with your Resident Advisor or Community Coordinator about the reasons you want to move.

Can I have overnight guests?

Sure! You are welcome to have a friend stay overnight in your room as long as your roommate is comfortable with it. Please note - guests may not stay more than three nights during a two-week period.

Is alcohol allowed?

According to our policies...
In the Residence Halls, alcohol is not permitted under any circumstances as no residents are over the age of 21.
In the Apartments, students who are at least 21 years old may drink in their own apartment as long as everyone assigned to and present in the apartment is 21 years of age or older.

Is smoking allowed?

As of August 2013, Cal State Fullerton is a smoke- and vapor-free campus, meaning that smoking is prohibited on university property, facilities, grounds, parking structures, private vehicles parked on university grounds, university-owned vehicles and structures owned or leased by the university. This applies to all buildings and outdoor areas of Student Housing.

Can I bring a pet?

In some cases, yes! Fish are permitted in bowls or tanks no larger than 5 gallons in volume.
Service and/or support animals to assist students with disabilities are permitted with approval from Disability Support Services and Housing and Residential Engagement. Residents with approved animal accomodations will need to contact our staff to review and sign a separate agreement pertaining to pet care and cleanliness standards after receiving approval from DSS.

Who takes care of maintenance and repairs?

All maintenance and repairs in residence halls, apartments, and public areas are completed by Facilities Operations team. Residents in need of assistance should either fill out a Maintenance Request Form or contact our office for emergencies such as a serious water leak or flooding.

Can I get mail and packages delivered here? What's my address?

Residents are able to have mail and packages delivered to Student Housing to be picked up from our Mailroom. Please use the following mailing address format to make sure our staff can accurately sort your mail:

Please be aware that you cannot receive mail of any type, including bills or packages, that do not have your correct name on them.
