California State University, Monterey Bay: Are the housing application fee and prepayment refundable?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

The $50 application fee is separate from the $150 housing down payment; the $150 down payment is credited to first rent and is refundable only under the published cancellation conditions.

CSUMB requires a $50 housing application fee and a $150 down payment. For a 2026–27 cancellation before June 1, the $150 is refunded; later cancellations can convert it into or add a cancellation fee under the published schedule.
