University of California, Santa Cruz: How many years of on-campus housing are guaranteed?
DIRECT ANSWER
Two years for new first-year and transfer students beginning in fall 2026, provided they satisfy the guarantee conditions.
The newest official UCSC announcement and Admissions FAQ state that students entering in fall 2026 as new first-year or transfer students are eligible for a two-year housing guarantee. This newer 2026 policy supersedes older housing-page language that still shows the prior one-year standard.
