When
do I pay the $300 Security Deposit?
After
we have received your application for University Housing, we will send
you a letter asking you to submit a $300 Security Deposit.
You do not need to send in any money with your application.
Depending on when your application is received, you may be asked to submit
the deposit at the same time as your first rent payment

Will
my Financial Aid help pay for rent?
When
you apply for Financial Aid, you will need to indicate on the application
that you want on-campus housing so that your total award reflects the
cost of living on campus.
If you are receiving Financial Aid, you may defer your rent payment until
your award is disbursed. You will just need to give the Housing office
a copy of your Financial Aid Award Letter. Please be aware that the $300
Security Deposit CANNOT BE DEFERRED and you are responsible
for paying it when it is requested by our office.
Three-bedroom single occupancy applicants: you will also
be asked to submit a $920 advance rent payment that cannot be deferred.
The $920 will be asked for after your deposit has been received.

How
are roommates assigned?
If you
know other students who currently live or will be living in University
Housing, you can request them by name and every effort will be made to
place you in the same apartment. Please make sure that you and your preferred
roommate(s) request each other and that you are choosing the same apartment
type.
If you do not know anyone with whom you might want to share an apartment,
roommates will be assigned to you based on your answers to the Roommate
Compatibility Questionnaire. That questionnaire is sent to you later in
the application process.
While every effort is made to accommodate specific roommate requests and
to match you with compatible roommates, Housing cannot guarantee that
you will get the people you requested or that you will get a completely
compatible roommate.

Can
I apply for Housing before I am admitted to CSUDH?
Yes,
you can apply for Housing before knowing your admission status. In fact,
you should apply for Housing at the same time you apply to the University.
This increases your chances of getting into Housing and of getting the
apartment type you prefer, especially if you are requesting a three-bedroom
single occupancy apartment or one-bedroom double occupancy apartment.
In case you apply to Housing and are later denied admission to the
University, any deposit or rental fees paid will be refunded in full.

Does
University Housing offer a meal plan?
No, University
Housing does not offer a meal plan. Since every apartment has a kitchen
equipped with a stove, oven and refrigerator, most residents do their
own grocery shopping and cooking. There is also a Food Court on campus
which offers a variety of affordable meals and snacks for students.
