Summer Housing

For Current Residents

The Summer 2025 Housing License Agreement includes:

• The break between spring and summer for residents starting May Intersession, Session A only, or Full Summer (Sessions A & B)

• The break between summer and fall for residents with a qualifying summer contract

Students applying for Session B only are not eligible to stay during the spring-to-summer break.

Important Dates:

• May 17, 2025 at 12 p.m.: Spring 2025 License Agreement ends.
  All residents not staying for summer (or staying in Session B only) must move out and check out by this time.

• May 20, 2025: Summer housing begins for May Intersession, Session A only, and Full Summer (Sessions A & B).
  These residents may remain on campus during the break between spring and summer.

• May 22, 2025: Transfer Day for approved summer residents.
  Residents may stay in their spring room until this date.

• May 23, 2025 at 2 p.m.: Deadline for all summer residents to complete their room transfer.

Note:

Students with Session B only contracts are not eligible to stay during the break between spring and summer.

The Summer 2025 Housing License Agreement includes the break between terms only for eligible sessions (May Intersession, Session A only, or Full Summer). It does not include early move-in for Session B only applicants.

Residents must request any changes to their summer stay by the cancellation deadline by emailing askhousing@calstatela.edu. The deadline is listed on the Important Dates & Deadlines page.

Housing will review the request and notify the resident of approval or denial. If approved, the resident is responsible for any difference in housing fees and must check in or out based on the new agreement start date.

Note: Moving in late or checking out early will not result in a fee adjustment. Housing fees are based on the full term selected in the Summer Housing License Agreement.

Once a student receives their summer 2025 housing assignment confirmation, fees will be posted to their student account.

To secure your space and live on campus this summer, you must pay your housing balance by Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at 5 p.m.

Students must meet all eligibility requirements throughout the Summer Housing Application process.

Initial payments made while an outstanding balance exists will be applied to that balance and will not count as a summer Housing payment.

Housing and Residence Life reserves the right to cancel a resident’s application and room assignment if they:

• Fail to make payments

• Do not meet eligibility or enrollment requirements

• Have conduct or sanction-related issues

Students must submit a License Agreement Cancellation Request Form through the Housing Portal by the official cancellation deadline, which allows for:

• 5-day notice for most summer sessions

• 30-day notice for Summer Session B Only

If approved, all fees—except the non-refundable $40 application fee—will be credited to the student’s account.

Late cancellations may result in:

• A $50 cancellation fee if the form is submitted after the deadline

• A prorated room charge if the required notice period is not met

Please refer to your Summer Housing License Agreement for complete details.

We have ADA-compliant units at Phase I, II and the Golden Eagle Apartments (GEA). If you require specific accommodations, please register with the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD).

For additional information regarding the application process please email them at OSD@calstatela.edu. 

Returning residents with a current OSD-approved Housing accommodation do not need to re-submit documentation. Accommodations on file for 2024–2025 or 2025–2026 will be considered for summer housing.

Please note: Regardless of accommodation needs, all students must meet Summer Housing Application deadlines to be eligible for placement.
