Graduate student
Guaranteed housing Information
The UCI Graduate Student Housing Guarantee The University of California, Irvine guarantees an offer of on-campus housing to every newly-admitted, full-time Ph.D. and M.F.A. student who enrolls in Fall 2008. Ph.D. students will be guaranteed housing for a term of one year less than normal time to degree* for the academic program. M.F.A. students will be provided with housing for two or three years, depending upon their program. |
* Normal Time to Degree may not equal the actual time to degree for each student. Consult your academic advisor if you have questions about your time to degree.
The Graduate Housing Guarantee offers:
- The security of knowing that you will have a place to live on-campus by the start of Fall quarter.
- The convenience of living close to classes and campus resources
- Rental rates that may be lower than the local housing market
Graduate Guarantee Housing Information:
- Students will receive one guaranteed offer of housing for Fall 2008 in one of four on-campus communities: Palo Verde, Verano Place, Vista del Campo, or Vista del Campo Norte.
- Placement in a specific community or apartment type is not guaranteed.
- To receive a guaranteed housing offer, student must meet all application deadlines and pay any applicable fees. Online Housing Interest Forms must be submitted by May 1, 2008. Eligible students will receive the link to the online form from their academic advisors.
- Housing assignments are based on space availability and student preferences at the time they are made.
- Placement under the housing guarantee cannot be deferred to a later time. The guaranteed housing offer is only applicable to students who are admitted early enough to complete all steps in the process.
- Students who do not accept the University’s community assignment offer may elect to be placed on the wait-list for another community. If the student is offered placement from the waitlist on or before the first day of classes, the student will maintain their graduate guarantee for the time stated above. If the student is placed after the first day of classes, they will forfeit their graduate guarantee. This is a very risky option, as the demand for certain housing communities is very high, and should only be considered in the most extreme of personal circumstances.
- Please note that students who are offered housing from the wait-list after the first day of classes are only offered housing for the current academic year, and their housing lease agreement may or may not be renewable, based on space availability.
Please note: Students who do not submit their housing online interest form by May 1, 2008 (or who are not eligible for guaranteed housing) can still apply for housing and get on the wait-list. Click here for more information.
