Move-In FAQs
Applying for Housing
- Can I still apply for Housing?
- Yes, you can apply for Housing on your Student Housing Portal.
- I am on the waitlist general waitlist, when will I hear back?
- We are doing our best to accommodate as many students as possible from the general waitlist but must acknowledge we will not be able to accommodate all interested students.
- If a space matching one of your room preferences becomes available, you will be assigned to the space. You will not receive notification prior to being assigned.
- If there are no spaces available that match your room preferences, you may be offered a different room type if one becomes available. Alternate housing offers are made via UCSC email and students are required to accept the offer within twenty-four (24) hours or the offer is void and the space will be offered to another student. Closely monitor your UCSC email and/or set up email forwarding to have your UCSC email forwarded to another account you check regularly.
- If at any time your plans change and you are no longer interested in university housing it is your responsibility to immediately cancel your application. There is no fee for cancelling an application prior to a space being assigned; cancellation fees will apply in all cases of a student cancelling a confirmed housing space.
