Apply for campus housing by paying Housing downpayment

Transfers are NOT guaranteed housing: therefore apply for campus housing early. To apply for campus housing, purchase the ERD that includes the Campus Housing package via your MySSU Online Services account. Payment date establishes housing priority for living area and room type. Housing down payment does not guarantee a space or specific assignment. Housing is in high demand and space fills quickly. A waitlist will be started once housing is full.

If you purchased the ERD package without Campus Housing and need to now pay the Housing Down Payment, please contact Residential Education & Campus Housing at (707) 664-2541.

Refund Information: 50% refundable if requested in writing by June 15, 2019; non-refundable thereafter. Read more @ Housing
