Undergraduate Housing Contracts

Contracts for the Residence Halls and Arroyo Vista are completed online and require payment of a $375 reservation fee. Log in to the Housing Gateway (link provided in contract offer email) to access your contract. Please note the completion deadline in your housing offer email, as the offer expires once the deadline is reached. Reservation fee must be paid for contract to be complete.

The Personal Information form is completed as part of the housing contract process. Indicate your preferences for community, theme, room-type, and roommate matching. Housing cannot guarantee that all preferences will be fulfilled.

Contract Cancellation:

  • Prior to the contract’s official start date, contracts may be canceled for any reason. Cancellation charges range from $100 – $250 based on the date of cancellation. See housing contracts (links below) for details.
  • After the contract’s official start date, approval for termination of the contract will only be granted for specific documented exceptions (e.g., graduation, withdrawal from the University, extreme financial hardship, etc.).
  • Withdrawal from the University does not automatically cancel or terminate your housing contract. Contact Student Housing for more information.
  • A preference to live off-campus is not an accepted condition for contract termination without other grounds for an exception.
  • Visit the Contract Cancellation page for further instructions and forms.
Graduate & Family Apartment Agreements

Housing agreements for Graduate & Family Housing (Palo Verde, Verano Place, and Campus Village) are completed online using DocuSign and require payment of a $150 security deposit and pro-rated first month’s amount owed prior to move-in.  Contact your assigned housing community if you have questions about your housing agreement.

Housing Agreement Termination:
Requests to cancel or terminate your housing agreement are subject to administrative review. Contact your assigned housing community for more information.
