I want to live on campus during the intersession? How do I secure housing?
Residents living in Manchester Village, San Antonia de Padua, University Terrace, and the
Presidio Terrace Apartments can live on campus during intersession without taking any
additional steps because intersession housing is included in their contract. All Intersession Housing Applications must be submitted no less than two business days prior to your arrival to avoid a $65 late registration fee. You do not need to be taking courses or working on campus to be considered for on-campus housing during intersession. For more information about the application process and to sign up visit our intersession page.
I will be studying abroad for Fall 2013 and want to live on campus in Spring 2014. How do I sign up for spring housing?
If you studying abroad for Fall 2013 you will not participate in the Returning Student Sign Up Process. You will need to complete the Spring 2014 on-campus housing application which will be available on-line in early November 2013. At that time you will complete the application and submit your $250 non-refundable prepayment.
If you know a specific room that will have an open space in Spring 2014 that you would like to move into, email housing@sandiego.edu with your request in November. While Residential Life does not guarantee building or occupancy type, we will do our best to accommodate your request if mutually agreed upon by the other residents in that room/apartment and submitted in a timely manner. If you do not request a specific room, you will be placed in an available room that best fits your preferences that you list on the application.
