College Affiliation and Housing
Assignment
Undergraduate students
The Colleges: Communities of Learning
The colleges at UC Santa Cruz are instrumental in creating the learning
communities and supportive environment that characterize the Santa
Cruz experience. All undergraduate students, whether they live in
university housing or not, are affiliated with one of ten colleges.
In addition to housing students in small-scale residential communities,
each college provides academic support, organizes student activities,
and sponsors events that enhance the intellectual and social life
of the campus. Every college community includes students with diverse
backgrounds and academic goals. Your college affiliation is independent
of your choice of major, and assignments are based upon space availability
and student preferences.

| International
Living Center (ILC) at College Nine and College
Ten! More than just a place to live, the International Living
Center offers a unique living environment fostering understanding
and friendship among people from different nations. Half of
the ILC's residents are from the U.S. and half are international.
Students that become affiliated with either College Nine
or College Ten will have the option to express an interest in
the ILC during the online housing application process. |
- Once you have been affiliated with a UCSC college, a housing packet
will be sent to you if you indicated a preference for university housing.
- The housing packet will contain information about your college affiliation,
a copy of the Terms and Conditions of residence, and
instructions for submitting your online housing application/contract
and lifestyle questionnaire.
- It is important that you complete the online application/contract
process by the due date stated in your housing packet.
College affiliation instructions and
information on how to apply online for University housing will be sent
to you by EAP. Please do not contact the
UCSC housing office directly for an application.
College Housing Options
Undergraduate Students
The specific room options available to you will differ, depending
on your college affiliation. The colleges offer two kinds of living
accommodations – residence halls and apartments – both
with access to common dining facilities. Nine of the colleges have
both residence halls and apartments, while Kresge is all apartments.
A particular type of college/housing facility or specific room type
is not guaranteed.
Application Deadline: Deadlines will be included in the instructions
for submitting the Student Housing Online application/contract. Failure
to meet this deadline will void any housing guarantee. Late
applications will be placed on a waiting list.
Advanced Housing Fee Required: The $150 advance housing fee
is automatically deferred for EAP undergraduate students until their
arrival.
Notification of Housing Assignments: Housing assignment information
will be mailed to all students from their resident facility. This will
include room, roommate, and move-in information.
