To be eligible for University Housing, you must meet the following criteria:
Please note that CSUDH does not currently provide accommodations for students seeking to live on campus with family. If you are in need of local family housing, listings of private off-campus rentals may be found online at https://csudhuniversityhousing.rentcollegepads.com/.
Apply online here. Be sure to:
If we're unable to offer you a space, you will be added to a waitlist and considered on a space-available basis. Please be aware that first-year and transfer students who live 20 miles or more from campus get priority on the waitlist.
After you submit an application, you will be asked to pay a $30 Housing Application Fee. This is a non-refundable fee, which MUST be paid or your application will not be processed.
You may pay online at My.csudh.edu using Toropay, or by mailing 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 name and Student ID number are noted on the check or money order. You may also pay in person at the Cashier's Office on campus, but please keep their business hours in mind if you do. (Note: The Cashier's only accepts cash, checks, cashier checks or money orders. Credit card or debit card payments can only be made online.)
Please allow 1-2 business days for the $30 charge to appear on your student account. Housing will contact you via email to confirm that your application has been received and to request payment. From that point, you'll have 5 business days to make your payment. Failure to pay the fee within 5 business days will result in the cancellation of your application.
BOTH your application AND the $30 Fee MUST be received by the priority deadline in order to make the priority cut-off date. Submitting an application by the deadline, but paying the $30 Fee AFTER the deadline may result in your being placed on the waitlist.
Students who are offered a space will be asked to submit a $300 Security Deposit* to reserve a spot in Housing. New applicants should expect to receive this request shortly after the priority application deadline (see date above).
* NOTE: Current Housing residents will NOT have to pay another Security Deposit.
You will also be asked to select a Payment Plan for your Room Fees during this step of the application process. A mandatory, one-time installment fee is charged if you pay in more than one (1) installment for the Academic Year: $25 for two (2) installments, $50 for six (6) installments. New Spring applicants are charged $25 if they pay in three (3) installments. This fee is non-refundable.
When requested, you may pay your deposit online at My.csudh.edu using Toropay, or by mailing a check or money order (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 name and Student ID number are noted on the check or money order. You may also pay in person at the Cashier's Office on campus, but please keep their business hours in mind if you do. (Note: The Cashier's only accepts cash, checks, cashier checks or money orders. Credit card or debit card payments can only be made online.)
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 on the Payment Plan you selected.
When requested, you may pay your Room Payment online at My.csudh.edu using Toropay, or by mailing a check or money order (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 name and Student ID number are noted on the check or money order. You may also pay in person at the Cashier's Office on campus, but please keep their business hours in mind if you do. (Note: The Cashier's only accepts cash, checks, cashier checks or money orders. Credit card or debit card payments can only be made online.)
* If you choose to defer your Room Payment to Financial Aid, you'll be asked to complete and submit a Deferment of Housing Payment Agreement instead of making a payment. The Deferment Agreement authorizes Housing to automatically deduct your applicable room rate from any financial aid you expect to receive (grants, scholarships, stipends and/or loans).
Once you pay or defer your Room Payment, you will have a CONFIRMED space in Housing and you will have completed all steps of the application process.
ALL 2020-21 applicants with a CONFIRMED Housing space must be enrolled in the required number of units (12 for undergraduate students, 6 for graduate students) by the above-noted dates, or risk losing their space in Housing.
