Spring 2025

Log into the Housing Portal using your "MyCalStateLA" username and password and select the Housing Application Spring 2025. The system will take you step-by-step through each section of the application and Agreement. You will have the opportunity to indicate your preference for room type, meal plan, payment plan and other important reminders.

After you’ve completed the signature page in the Housing Portal, you will be redirected to the University’s Transact system. There, you’ll make a $40 payment (non-refundable fee). Follow these steps:

1. When in Transact, indicate the payment option (credit, debit, or e-check) and click on “Continue Checkout.”
2. Then enter your payment information and click on “Continue Checkout.”
3. Review and confirm that your payment information is correct and submit your payment.
4. A payment receipt will appear that reflects the transaction.
5. Click the option that allows you to return to the application.
6. Click “Complete Application” at the bottom of the "Almost There!" page. Please be sure to do this step to ensure your confirmation information has been sent to our office.

This step must only be completed by applicants who are under the age of 18. The Consent Form must be signed by a parent or legal guardian who agrees with the terms and conditions of the spring 2025 License Agreement to provide authorization for medical treatment in case of an emergency. The form must be completed, signed and returned to the Office of Housing and Residence Life by the time you move in.

A Completed Application Includes:

• Completion of the online housing application and spring 2025 License Agreement
• Payment of the $40 application fee

You must complete the following prior to moving in:

• Residents who are under 18 years old only: submission of a completed Consent Form to the housing office

Applicants are considered for housing placement on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once you apply and pay the $40 fee, you'll be assigned a space. You'll be assigned to a bed space based on availability. Students will receive an email to their Cal State LA email account, confirming their room reservation.

The Office of Housing and Residence Life is committed to equal opportunity in our housing facilities and will provide reasonable accommodations as determined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Fair Housing Act (FHA) policies and guidelines, on a case-by-case basis. If you are a “qualified individual” with a documented disability who requires ADA housing accommodations, please contact the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) for more information on the registration process. You can find out more on the OSD website or by contacting them at 323-343-3140 or [email protected].

Once you have received a Housing assignment confirmation, you will be able to view your spring housing charges and make a payment on GET. 

Payment must be submitted by January 16, 2025, or establish a payment plan with a minimum 20% payment of the housing cost. Students will not be able to move in without having made either payment.

Students assigned after the payment deadline will be given 48 hours to make their spring payment. The due date and amount due will be posted on students' GET accounts.

Failure to submit your payment by the deadline will result in you not getting the space you want. For Rates & Payments, visit our website.

Applicants who wish to cancel their spring 2025 Housing License Agreement may request to cancel by filling out the Cancellation Form Before the Start of the License Agreement by the cancellation deadline of December 18, 2024. Log into the Housing Portal, then click on the Housing Forms tab to access the License Agreement Cancellation Request Form.

After December 18, students with a room reservation who wish to cancel will be required to fill out the Petition to Cancel Form and upload supporting documentation. All Petitions to Cancel are requests and must meet the conditions as specified in the License Agreement in the section entitled Cancellation Prior to Occupancy Without 30-day Notice [Section III.C.2 (Housing) and/or Section III.E.2 (Meal Plan)]. The Office of Housing and Residence Life reserves the right to approve or deny cancellation requests.

All cancellation requests must include supporting documentation for the reason for the cancellation request. Failure to provide supporting documentation will result in a delay of the petition review process. After the request form and supporting documentation have been submitted, it will take one to two weeks to review the petition. If approved for a housing cancellation, a student’s housing fees will be removed or adjusted according to the License Agreement Cancellation Policy.

Move-in is January 17, 2025. The move-in period is between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. More info coming soon!
