Housing Information

Housing is not guaranteed. Be aware that the standard rental agreement for some housing accommodations is nine months. Students attending UC for fewer than nine months may be subject to a cancellation fee.

 

California Housing Board (Non–UC Housing)

The California Housing Board provides a forum for all Education Abroad Program participants to share information about housing for rent and housing situations wanted in California. Students are encouraged to post messages about housing sublets, shared housing situations, rooms for rent, and rentals.

Application Deadline: July 1, 2008

Application Fee Required: None

Housing Move-In Date: Contact ERC Residence Life ercreslife@ucscd.edu for information about move-in and possible early move-in.

Deposit Required: No deposit necessary, but $500 pre-payment required upon return of contract.

Method of Payment Options: International money order, cashier's check, or traveler's checks in U.S. dollars payable to UC Regents accepted.

Notification of Housing Assignments: Selection results e-mailed to applicants by July 15, 2008. Note that you should receive an e-mail acknowledging receipt of your application. If you do not, please e-mail ihouse@ucsd.edu.

The International House is the primary on-campus accommodation for Reciprocity students. Admission to I-House is competitive and primarily based on the willingness of the applicant to be an active member of the I-House community.

Give yourself adequate time to fill out the application completely. It will be read and is an important part of the I-House selection process.

Unfortunately, some qualified applicants may not be admitted due to limited space. Students assigned to any undergraduate college may live in the I-House, not just Eleanor Roosevelt College (ERC) students.

Read the "On-Campus Housing Notes and Policies" before applying to the I-House.

On-Campus Housing

Undergraduate students

In case Reciprocity students are not accommodated in I-House (see above), students are also encouraged to apply concurrently to live in other on-campus housing by adding their name to the waitlist.

Waitlist Form The Fall 2008 wait list opens at 8:00 a.m. on June 2, 2008. Note that the number of spaces offered to wait list applicants is dependant on the number of new fall students. Due to an expected high enrollment, students are encouraged to research alternative housing options (See Community Housing below).

Note: EAP Reciprocity students do not need to have an UCSD Personal Identification Number (PID) to add their names to the waitlist. If you do not yet have a UCSD PID, enter your UC Application ID number in the PID number box on the form. Choose any "College of Registration." For the U.S. phone, enter any 10 digits or 10 zeros. Include your international phone number in the "Personal Remarks or Special Instructions" box.
