The time between application and offer of an apartment varies depending on space allocation, which assignment category you are in, number of applicants in your Assignment Category with an earlier application date, type of apartment requested, and desired move-in month. - What happens for Medical School, Merage School of Business, other Master’s students, and undergrads without children? What is the application process? If there is a wait-list, and once they get in, how long do they get to stay?
- Students in these categories may apply to get on the wait-list for Graduate and Family Housing after they are admitted. They will be assigned after the guaranteed students, on a first-come, first-served basis, and according to their assignment category. There is no guarantee for this offer, and their lease will have an end date of June 30th. Residents will be notified of lease renewal options during Spring Quarter.
- What about current Ph. D. students who don’t live on campus right now? If they apply and get a space, what is their length of stay limit?

If space allows, Ph.D. students are eligible to remain in Graduate and Family housing for one year less than normative time to degree (beginning when they enroll at UCI).
Please note that normative time to degree may not equal the actual time to degree for each student. Consult your graduate advisor if you have questions about your time to degree.

- Yes, waitlist applicants will be offered housing according to their application date within a given assignment category.
