New Student and Returning Students

Applications are now live for Fall 2013

Students may apply for either Main Campus or East Campus housing (review eligibility restrictions). Main Campus Housing consists of Residence Halls and North Quad housing areas. East Campus Housing consists of the Frederick Park Apartments. New students applying for on-campus housing must complete the following steps before accessing the on-campus Student Housing Application:

• Be admitted to Cal State Monterey Bay
• Confirm your intent to attend CSUMB by logging in to your MyCSUMB account and paying the $100 University Enrollment Confirmation Fee.
• Next, you will receive an email from Admissions containing details about the housing application process. After you receive this email, you will be able to pay your security deposit and access the Student Housing Application.

Following are the steps necessary to complete your Housing Application.

Information for Transfer Students:

At this time our housing for transfer students on Main Campus is full, while we expect housing cancellations, we also highly encourage transfer students to consider alternative off campus options at this time for those interested in Main Campus housing or if you will be coming in at senior status or 20+ years of age you can also apply for East Campus Housing. If it is important for you to have your housing confirmed prior to the start of the semester, you need to consider off campus housing, as we cannot provide a guaranteed timeline for an on-campus assignment.

Should you choose to pursue off campus options, there is still a possibility for you to move onto campus during the 2013-2014 school year if space permits. Residents on the waitlist, who choose to cancel their housing applications, will receive a full refund on their $250 Security Deposit.
