Overview
Housing Guarantee
The housing guarantee for Fall of 2023 at UC San Diego is a commitment made by the university to provide on-campus housing to all incoming first year students and first year transfer students who meet the housing guarantee eligibility.
The undergraduate class of Fall 2024 will receive a two-year housing guarantee. Students must reside in on-campus housing during the 2024-25 academic year or they will automatically forfeit their two-year housing guarantee.
Housing Guarantee Eligibility
To maintain eligibility* for the two-year housing guarantee, the student must comply with the following:
- Students must reside in on-campus housing for the entirety of their admit year.
- Students must maintain their housing contract for the duration of the academic year or full 12-month contract (Pepper Canyon West only)
- Compliance with all:
- University-imposed deadlines
- Incoming and Continuing student housing deadlines (including but not limited to: application, contract, payment, and enrollment to maintain housing eligibility)
- Terms of the University housing contract
- University policies
*Students who participate in Education Abroad Programs, UC Washington Center (UCDC), late admission, admission deferment, or military leave maintain eligibility for the housing guarantee provided their guarantee has not expired. For example, a new incoming student for Fall 2023 received a two-year housing guarantee, their guarantee expires Spring 2025. The student is participating in a study abroad program for Spring 2025. They would not be guaranteed housing upon their return for Fall 2025 as their guarantee expired at the end of Spring Quarter 2025 (Year 1: Fall to Spring 2023-24; Year 2: Fall to Spring 2024-25).
Current Students with a Housing Guarantee
