California State University, Monterey Bay: What happens if my student does not receive housing or is waiting for space?
DIRECT ANSWER
Students can remain on a CSUMB housing waitlist until a space is assigned; an unassigned waitlisted student can cancel without a housing cancellation fee.
CSUMB's 2026–27 cancellation policy expressly addresses students on the housing waitlist and states that those who have not been assigned a space are not subject to cancellation fees. Students should monitor MyHousing and university email for assignment updates.
