Graduate Housing FAQ

What is the application deadline?

There are no application deadlines. While it is advisable to submit applications early to ensure you the best chance of securing housing, applications are processed and assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis.

How is housing assigned? Can I choose my roommate?

Housing is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If you select to stay in a twin studio room, you will be assigned a roommate.

When can I move in?

Graduate contracts are for the fall, winter, and spring quarters. You will be able to move in on the first day of each quarter, no sooner. For the fall, graduate students who have a family apartment will be allowed to arrive earlier to enroll their children in school. Summer Housing will be subject to approval, based on when their program starts.

All units are fully furnished. This includes a queen-sized bed and mattress in each bedroom. One, two, and three-bedroom apartments include living room furniture such as a couch, chair, and dining table with chairs. Although the units are furnished, each resident is responsible for providing kitchen and bath accessories (towels, dishes, silverware, pots, etc.). All university-provided furniture must remain inside each apartment.

Do I get a meal plan? What is included in the rent? Are utilities included? If so, which utilities?

All utilities (heat, electric, water, cable television) are included in the rent. You would only receive additional charges for any use of the optional land-line phone service. Because all apartments in Graduate Housing come with fully equipped kitchens, no meal plan is included in the housing charges. However, you may purchase a meal plan if you would like.

When I received my bill, it seems I am paying three or four months rent. Why is that?

When will I get my room deposit back?

Your room deposit will be credited to your student account during the month in which you move in.
