Eligibility, Contract Process / Pre-Payment

Eligibility

Non-residents (students who are not currently housed on campus), visitors, incoming freshmen, and incoming transfer students enrolled at the university in the summer will be housed in the Traditional Summer Housing Program. All summer housing residents must be enrolled in courses in order to be eligible for on campus housing.


All Traditional summer housing residents must be 17 years of age at the time that they take residency in the summer allocation in addition to being enrolled in courses in order to be eligible for on campus housing as well as being an incoming student for Fall 2024. The Traditional Summer Program includes dining in addition to custodial services which includes the cleaning of common areas only (laundry facilities, student activity center, kitchen (apartments only), bathroom and student lounge). Residents are responsible for the cleaning of their private sleeping areas and removal of their trash.

Contract Process & Pre-Payment

Your housing application will be processed within 5-7 business days upon being received by the Summer Housing Team. After, you will receive an email with the contract link in order to sign your housing contract. Once your contract has been signed you will receive another email with the link to submit a prepayment in the amount of $150.00 via E-check or Credit Card. This $150.00 prepayment cannot be paid via your student account on Triton Link, as there will not be a charge on your student account. Instead, you will be directed to a secure third-party site to make the prepayment. Please make sure that you have the following information ready to make your e-check payment: name of the bank, account holder, bank account number, and routing number. Credit Card is also an option. You will have three days from the time that you receive the payment link to submit your prepayment. Failure to submit your prepayment within the given deadline of three days will result in your application being considered null and void by the Summer Housing Team.

If you are having problems with the contracting process, please email the Summer Housing Team at summerhousing@ucsd.edu with your name and your PID.
