University of California, Santa Cruz: What happens if my student misses a housing deadline?
DIRECT ANSWER
Missing a required housing deadline can cause a student to lose the housing guarantee and move into the non-guaranteed housing process or waitlist.
The fall 2026 two-year guarantee is conditional on meeting all housing deadlines. A student who misses a required step should contact Student Housing Services immediately; available housing may then depend on the waitlist and remaining space rather than the guarantee.
