Family Student Housing Application

Family Student Housing is a year-round housing facility. Applications are accepted year-round, and move-in dates are assigned in order of the date of application and according to the length of notice you require (from 24 hours to 30 days). Applications are prioritized by family status, with offers made to families with children below the age of 18 first.

Note: If you are applying with adult immediate family members such as a parent, sibling, or child 18 years or over, please apply as a "family without children."

• Be sure you meet Family Student Housing eligibility requirements.

• During the application process you will be prompted to upload required documents, summarized below.

• Review the required documents in advance of starting an application to ensure you are able to complete the process.

• To apply, log in to the Housing Portal and navigate to the Family Student Housing application.

• If you have any questions, please email fsh@ucsc.edu.

Required Documents:

Current photos are required for all family members over the age of 18 years.

Applicants with immediate family members must submit a copy of all applicable documents:

1. each child's birth certificate or adoption papers, if you are claiming parenthood

2. proof of custody, if you are claiming single parent status

3. doctor's verification of pregnancy with due date, if you are claiming an expected child

4. birth certificate for all other immediate adult family members such as a parent, sibling, or child 18 years or older

Incomplete application materials will not be processed and will be canceled. We STRONGLY advise that you review Community Rentals and other Off Campus Housing Options as you wait for your application to be approved. There is no penalty to canceling your on campus housing application prior to receiving an assignment in case you find something off campus sooner.
