If you are interested in living on campus for summer 2012, click here to access the online housing application.
*Important Note: The Summer Housing Application will not be available from April 30th to May 8th due to site upgrades. Please call Residential Life at 619-260-4777 with any questions.
Applications must be submitted 10 days prior to your requested move in day.
What You Would Need to Bring
Although university residence halls are equipped with basic furniture, you will need to provide your own blankets, sheets, pillows, towels, and desk lamps.
Room Rates
Room rates in the Apartments are based on how many people are occupying a bedroom, not an apartment. One person in a bedroom is a single rate. Two or more residents in a bedroom is a multiple occupancy rate. For example, a two bedroom apartment in the University Terrace Apartments could have three residents; one in a bedroom paying a single rate and two in the other bedroom paying the multiple rate. All residents would share a living room, kitchen, and dining area.
