On-campus housing is not guaranteed.
All students looking for on-campus housing options must apply in order to be considered. Continuing students may apply to the housing waiting list at any time during the year. Admitted students may apply for housing after they submit their Statement of Intent to Register (SIR), and must do so by May 1st.
Continuing students can find more information on the Student Housing website.
Information for new graduate students may be found here.
Local off-campus housing information (Irvine) can be found at
