New Incoming Students: Housing for 2024-25

Welcome to our new Triton Families! As you and your student prepare for Fall 2024, we have essential resources to help ensure a smooth transition into the on-campus housing experience. In addition, our UC San Diego Parent and Family Program have created a New Family Checklist to help you better support your student as they navigate the new incoming student process. 

While campus housing is optional, please note that to maintain your student's two-year housing guarantee as a new admit, they must reside on campus during their admit year and the subsequent academic year (2025-26). The housing guarantee cannot be deferred to a later date.

Here are actionable tips to ensure eligibility for the two-year housing guarantee:

  1. Confirm your acceptance to UC San Diego via the Applicant Portal by the University's deadline.
  2. Your student must set up their Single Sign-On account and activate their ucsd.edu email. Housing application invitations will only be sent after these steps are completed.
  3. Adhere to all housing deadlines to retain the housing guarantee. Missing a deadline forfeits the guarantee, but students can join the Fall Waitlist, if needed starting on July 9th. 
  4. Encourage your student to check their ucsd.edu email frequently for vital updates and deadlines.
  5. Familiarize yourself with housing processes and policies by reviewing the following websites:

We're here to support your student's housing journey at UC San Diego. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Important Deadlines and Information 

The housing application deadline was June 12, 2024 11:59PM (PST). The housing contract deadline was July 1, 2024 11:59PM (PST). 

For students who did complete the application process, the housing contract process began on June 18, 2024 and continues through July 1, 2024. 

Students who missed a housing deadline were able to apply to the Fall Waitlist from July 9, 2024 to September 3, 2024. Students who miss the housing deadline forfeit their two -year housing guarantee. If you have questions about the housing waitlist, please contact ucsdhousing@ucsd.edu. 

Room Assignments for 2024-25

Your student has received an email providing them the name of their residential housing community and the date they can access MyRoomAssignment via the Housing Portal to view their room assignment, roommate(s) and suite/apartment mates. A schedule of access dates by residential housing community can be found on our Move-in Information page. If your student attempts to log-in prior to their scheduled date, they will receive a no access message.

  • Students who have questions or concerns regarding their room assignment can contact our Residential Services and Housing Allocations team via email at ucsdhousing@ucsd.edu.
  • If your student has a medical condition that may require a housing or dining accommodation, please ensure that they work with the Office for Students with Disabilities first. If your student has questions about the accommodation process, they can contact our Housing Liaison at 858.534.8567or via email at housingliaison@ucsd.edu. 
  • Students who would like to request a room change can do so beginning Week 3 of Fall Quarter. Students can complete a Room Change Interest List from in the Housing Portal and will work with their Residential Life Office with their housing assignment as space becomes available. 

Please note that we can not share your student's room assignment, housing community, mailing address or other protected information, even for students under the age of 18. 

Campus housing is not mandatory, however, students who may opt out of campus housing their admit year may forfeit their housing guarantee. Students can cancel their housing contracts via the Housing Portal without fees or penalty through September 21, 20241, 11:59PM Pacific time.
