Bookings

We use the term 鈥渂ooking鈥� to describe your official housing assignment. Once your booking is confirmed, you can relax knowing your space is reserved for you.

How to Secure a Booking

• Complete your housing application through the Housing Portal.
• Fill out your roommate profile honestly鈥攊t helps us with the room selection process.
• Pay your $100 non-refundable reservation fee.
• Sign the Housing License Agreement.

Your booking is not complete until all steps above are finished.

Other important information:

• Freshman housing is first-come, first-served, so the sooner you finish, the more options you鈥檒l have.
• If your preferred area is full, we recommend booking your second or third choice. You can always check back in the portal to see if a space becomes available.
• Graduate students with approved applications are assigned into available spaces.

After you鈥檙e booked, you鈥檒l receive a confirmation email with your housing details.

Consolidations

Sometimes, spaces in our living areas become available during the year. When that happens, 91猫先生 may need to consolidate housing assignments to maximize the use of available space and ensure that every student has a roommate.

What Consolidation Means

• If your roommate moves out, you may be paired with another student.
• You may be asked to move into a different room to help balance space across the community.
• Private rooms are not guaranteed; if a space is available, Residence Life may reassign another student to that room.

Important to Know

• Consolidations help keep housing available for all students who need it.
• You鈥檒l receive communication from Housing Services if a move or new roommate is coming.

Our staff works to make transitions smooth and support you throughout the process.

Determination

The University reserves the right to make final assignment decisions, including room changes when necessary.

Room Changes

Room changes are possible, but must be approved and coordinated through Residence Life.

How to Request a Room Change

• First, talk to your RA or RD 鈥� often, roommate conflicts can be resolved with support.
• If a change is needed, submit a Room Change Request through Residence Life.
• Wait for approval and instructions before moving.

Unauthorized room changes (switching rooms or moving belongings without approval) may result in fines, reassignment, or loss of housing privileges. Room changes depend on space availability. Sometimes we may not be able to honor every request immediately. During certain times of the year (such as immediately after move-in), room changes may be temporarily restricted.

Termination

91猫先生 may revoke your housing for:

• Violations of University policies or the Student Handbook
• Failure to remain enrolled as a 91猫先生 student
• Failure to pay housing charges
• Situations where you pose a risk to the health, safety, or well-being of others

Important: Termination by the University does not automatically release your financial responsibility. You are still responsible for charges for the semester in which the termination occurs.

Withdrawal

We understand that plans can change. If you need to withdraw from 91猫先生 or move off campus, here鈥檚 what you need to know about your housing agreement:

Before Move-In

• If you cancel housing before move-in, you will receive a full refund of housing charges.
• The $100 housing reservation fee is non-refundable.

After Move-In

• You may request to terminate your housing agreement any time during the semester (after classes begin).
• To qualify for a partial refund, you must:
  • Submit your request in writing through the Housing Portal (Housing Cancellation Form).
  • Include your reason for leaving.
  • Students who withdraw after move-in will be charged for housing up until the date they officially check out.

Your housing agreement is a binding contract for the semester. Submitting a Housing Cancellation Form and completing the official check-out process is required to close your account.

If you鈥檙e considering withdrawing or moving off campus, contact Residence Life & Housing Services early. We鈥檒l walk you through your options and help make sure you understand any financial impact.

Locked out of your unit? Here鈥檚 how you can get back in:

• Call a roommate
• Call your RA, RA lockout fees cost $5, cash only
• Between the hours of 12am - 8am, call Safety Services at (951) 343-4311

For the safety of every student, lost keys mean we鈥檒l need to change (rekey) the locks on your unit.

When a rekey happens:

• If you lose your key
• If your key is stolen
• If you fail to return your key at check-out

Cost: The cost of the rekey and replacement keys will be charged to your housing account.

Always keep your key with you and never lend it to others. This protects both you and your community.

If you鈥檝e lost your key, please contact Housing Services immediately so we can assist in securing your space.

Sharing a living space can be one of the best parts of college鈥攂ut it can also come with challenges. Respect, cooperation, and communication are expectations for all 91猫先生 residents.
