Apply for housing through the University Housing Portal, but please go through all of the information below first.
We are still accepting applications for Spring 2023. Applications for Summer 2023 and Academic Year 2023-24 are NOW OPEN.
All students living on campus are REQUIRED to complete the COVID-19 Vaccination Self-Certification form on their My.CSUDH.edu portal. This self-certification provides the campus with critical information needed to maintain a safe campus environment. Housing applicants who fail to complete the Self-Certification form will NOT be assigned to a space in Housing.

All dates are subject to change.
Applications received after the above-noted priority application dates may be waitlisted.
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. 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 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 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 table at the top of the page for all dates) in order to make the priority cut-off date. Submitting an application by the deadline, but paying the $30 Fee AFTER the priority date may result in your being placed on the waitlist.
NOTE: If you previously applied for 2022-23 and paid a $30 Application Fee, you do NOT have to pay it again if you apply for Summer 2023. The application fee is paid only once per academic year, so your previous payment will automatically carry over to Summer 2023. It will NOT carry over to the 2023-24 Academic Year, however, so you must pay a new $30 Application Fee if you apply for 2023-24.
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 date has passed (refer to the table 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 fees can be paid in one (1), two (2) or six (6) installments. Summer fees can be paid in one (1) or two (2) 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 in six (6) installments.
When requested, you may pay your Security 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 full 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 (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.)
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 Fee 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 full 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 (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.)
* 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 check-in information no later than a week before your move-in date. Please refer to the table at the top of the page for the official Summer 2023 and 2023-24 Academic Year move-in dates.
New Summer applicants with a CONFIRMED Housing space must be enrolled in the required number of units (6 for undergraduate students, 4 for graduate students) for Summer 2023 by May 5, 2023, or risk losing their space in Housing.
New and returning Academic year applicants with a CONFIRMED Housing space must be enrolled in the required number of units (12 for undergraduate students, 6 for graduate students) for Fall 2023 by August 7, 2023, or risk losing their space in Housing.
