Fall-entry freshmen begin with the SIR and housing email, allow up to 24 hours for application access, then use myHousing to submit the signed contract and application. Check the actual deadline in the invitation and application; late applications depend on space.
Open the sourced answer →For the published fall-freshman residence-hall process, applicants under 18 need a parent or guardian to electronically sign the contract as guarantor; confirm the applicant’s actual contract and submission requirements.
Open the sourced answer →The published fall-2026 guarantee requires freshmen to be under 24. Freshmen aged 24 or older are directed to Student Housing and Dining Services for housing options; age alone does not establish an individual housing entitlement.
Open the sourced answer →The published guarantee defines housing as one student’s bed with related shared and personal bedroom or suite space. Families are excluded from residence halls and transfer-student apartments; the page directs family households to consider separate family or Davis community housing.
Open the sourced answer →The published guarantee requires fall entry, university and housing deadlines, and compliance with contract terms and residential policies.
