  • Your enrollment deposit includes your housing deposit. If you are assigned housing, the deposit will serve as a pre-payment for your room charges. If you are not assigned housing, your housing deposit will serve as pre-payment for your tuition charges.

    Only new students should submit the pre-payment.

  • There is no requirement to live on campus. Students are encouraged to apply for housing by the published deadlines each year. Please see the MyUSF Housing page to learn about the guaranteed housing policy.

  • Student Housing and the University of San Francisco work to provide housing spaces for all students. This includes working with Student Disability Services (SDS) to ensure that any and all accommodation requests are received. Students who need housing accommodations are advised to indicate the need for a disability related accommodation by answering the question on the housing application. Students must contact SDS and complete the intake and eligibility process to request a housing accommodation; answering the question alone will not initiate the process.

  • Occupancy dates differ depending on the housing contract signed by the student. Please view the Forms and Documents webpage to ensure you know the dates of occupancy you are signing up for. These contracts are legally binding documents that are signed during the housing application process.

  • Students living in the following on-campus housing locations are required to purchase the meal plan: Hayes-Healy, Gillson, Toler, Fromm, Lone Mountain-East, Loyola Village, Loyola Village Townhouses, Pacific Wing, and Lone Mountain-North. Those living in St. Anne’s, Fulton House, and Fulton Flats are not required to purchase the meal plan. More information can be found on the Meal Plan webpage.
