How to Apply (Current Students)
The Office of Housing and Residence Life invites current residents to reserve their housing assignments for the Academic Year 2023-24 (Fall 2023, Winter 2024, Spring 2024).
Current residents get priority. However, housing placement is not guaranteed and we encourage students to complete these steps by the deadline indicated.

STEP 1: Complete Online Housing Application and License Agreement
Complete and submit the Academic Year Housing License Agreement for 2023-2024
Create your student profile on the Housing Portal. The student profile is a list of questions that will help us identify roommate and/or housemate matches.

While completing the online Housing Application, you will be redirected to Transact. Submit the $40 initial payment and click the “Return to the Housing Application” to finish the application.
If you are unable to pay the fee on Transact, you have the following options:

STEP 3: Consent Form: Students Under 18 Years of Age
- If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must sign a Consent Form and mail, email for fax it to Housing and Residence Life.
STEP 4: Tuberculosis (TB) Clearance
University policy requires that all residents provide proof that they are free of tuberculosis or not at high risk for tuberculosis each year. Please complete a Tuberculosis (TB) Screening questionnaire on the Student Health Center Patient Portal by July 17, 2023, and annually thereafter. To access the Patient Portal, log into MyCalStateLA and click the "Student Health Center Patient Portal" icon, Clearances/Forms and then TB Screening.
- Note: Most students who do the TB Screening Questionnaire (now online) do not have to take a TB skin test, negative chest x-ray, or negative QuantiFERON test. Only those students at higher risk of TB infection which includes travel to or living in South and Central America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East; prior positive TB test; or exposure to someone with active TB disease.
