University of California, Santa Cruz: What reasons qualify for a first-year housing exemption?
DIRECT ANSWER
UCSC does not publish standard first-year exemption reasons because it does not impose a general first-year live-on requirement.
Students may choose an off-campus plan during the incoming-student process. The housing guarantee applies only when the student requests university housing and meets the deadlines, so the relevant decision is the housing preference rather than proving an exemption reason.
