• Be enrolled or plan to be enrolled in a minimum of 12 units (6 units for graduate students) for both terms (fall and spring) of the academic year. Summer applicants who are NOT current Housing residents must be enrolled or plan to be enrolled in a minimum of 6 units (4 units for graduate students) during the summer. 

Family Housing (Pilot coming soon): University Housing is assessing the needs of parenting students in order to offer family housing in the future. If you are a parenting student and would like more information or to express your needs, please contact our Director for Living and Learning Addae Jahdai-Brown (ajahdaibrown@7672049.com) for an appointment.

Apply online here. Be sure to:

• Apply as early as possible as space is limited and spots are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
  
  
• Apply by the priority application dates (refer to the tables at the top of the page for all dates). Please note that applying by the priority date does NOT guarantee you a space or a specific type of space, but it increases your chances of being offered a space.

If we're unable to offer you a space, you will be added to a waitlist and considered on a space-available basis. First-year and transfer students who live 20 miles or more from campus get priority on the waitlist.

After you submit an application, Housing will confirm via email that your application has been received and request that you pay a $30 Housing Application Fee. This is a non-refundable fee, which MUST be paid within 5 business days of applying or your application will not be processed and will be cancelled. You may pay online using Toropay by following these payment instructions. Or, you may mail a check or money order (made payable to CSUDH Housing) to:

CSUDH Cashier's Office
1000 East Victoria Street
Carson, CA 90747

If paying by check or money order, please ensure the student's full name and Student ID number are noted on the check or money order. We must still receive payment within 5 business days, so we recommend using Priority or Express Mail if mailing your payment.

You may also pay in person at the Cashier's Office on campus (please keep their business hours in mind) or leave your payment in their drop box. (Note: The Cashier's only accepts checks, cashier checks or money orders. Credit card or debit card payments can only be made online.) 

BOTH your application AND the $30 Fee MUST be received by the priority date (refer to the tables at the top of the page for all dates) in order to make the priority cut-off date. Submitting an application by the priority date, but paying the $30 Fee AFTER the priority date may result in your being waitlisted.

NOTE: If you previously applied for Housing for the 2024-25 Academic Year and paid a $30 Application Fee for Fall 2024, you do NOT have to pay it again if you apply for Spring 2025. If you did not already pay a $30 Application Fee for Fall 2024, then you MUST pay the fee is your apply for Spring 2025.

Students who are offered a space will be asked to submit a $300 Security Deposit* to reserve a space in Housing. New applicants should expect to receive this request shortly AFTER the priority application date has passed (refer to the tables above for all dates).

* NOTE: Current Housing residents do NOT have to pay another Security Deposit when they re-apply for Housing.

You will also be asked to select a Payment Plan for your Room Fees during this step of the application process.

- Academic year applicants may pay their room fees in one (1), two (2), or six (6) installments. A non-refundable, one-time $25 installment fee is charged for paying academic year fees in two (2) installments; a non-refundable, one-time $50 fee is charged for paying academic year fees in six (6) installments. 
- Spring applicants may pay their room fees in one (1) or three (3) installments. A non-refundable, one-time $25 installment fee is charged for paying spring semester fees in three (3) installments.
- Summer applicants may pay their room fees in one (1) or two (2) installments. 

When requested, you may pay your Security Deposit online using Toropay, or mail a check or money order (payable to CSUDH Housing) to:

• The Security Deposit CANNOT be deferred to Financial Aid.
• Failure to pay the Security Deposit by the specified due date will result in the cancellation of your application.

Students who submit a $300 Security Deposit and select a Payment Plan will next be asked to make a Room Fee payment to confirm their space. The amount due will depend on the Room Type you are offered and the Payment Plan you selected.

* If you choose to defer your Room Fee Payment to Financial Aid, you'll be asked to complete and submit a Deferment of Housing Fees Agreement instead of making a payment. The Deferment Agreement authorizes Housing to automatically deduct your room fees from any financial aid you expect to receive (grants, scholarships, stipends, and/or loans).  

Once you pay or defer your Room Fee Payment, you will have a CONFIRMED space in Housing, and you will have completed all steps of the application process.

You should then expect to receive your room assignment and move-in information approximately one week before your move-in date. Please refer to the tables at the top of the page for our official move-in dates.

New and returning Academic Year 2024-25 Housing applicants with a CONFIRMED space must be enrolled in the required number of units (12 for undergraduate students, 6 for graduate students) for Fall 2024 by August 9, 2024, or risk losing their space in Housing.
