What if I decide to stay home fall quarter and need housing winter quarter? Would the contract give me that option?

Hello, In your planning, will you please consider extending the cancellation deadline for graduate students as well? The July 15th deadline was prior to many departments making decisions about remote/in-person Fall course formats. Also, for those of us who do have Fall contracts, would it be possible to guarantee our housing for this Winter if we should cancel our Fall contracts (perhaps by using the spaces for temporary socially-distanced undergraduate housing)? Please consider this if it is possible, it would really provide some ease of mind for having to cancel outside out of our control and missing out on the guaranteed housing we received our Fall contracts under. My plans for moving in the Fall are not looking safe, as one of my family members is immunocompromised. Another example is that some international students seem to have had to cancel plans to move in the Fall due to their consulate being closed during this period and not being able to obtain VISAs. Thank you

Hello, is there any update at all with housing at UCSB. Seeing that it’s almost August I’d really like to know whether I’ll need to search for housing outside of university apartments or not.

The deadline to waive UCSB student insurance is 9/1. The deadline to pay Fall 2020 tuition is 9/15. Fall classes begin on 10/1. The only reason we will pay $3,453 for the student insurance is that your on campus clinic does not accept other insurance that we have including BCBS. When will we know if the student will get a room from UCSB Housing or not? If the student will not get a room from UCSB Housing, we would like to waive the student insurance. Thanks, Hsuehling

Since we have not yet heard whether my daughter will be allowed to live in the Univ owned apt she selected for this year, we are considering cancelling the housing contract and going with an apt in IV. Is cancellation still an option until 9/1? And will the fee be the same as it is listed on the housing website? ($350)

I’m planning on staying home for fall quarter, however, will I be able to sign a contract for Winter and Spring Quarter? In the email, UCSB said that they will add roommate in future quarters, does that mean they will send out housing offers in winter and spring? Thank you.

I heard from a lot of students about them getting their housing contracts. When will be the last day all the contracts would be sent out?

Hello, if I decide to stay home in the Fall, will this make me ineligible for the 2&2 program for future apartment housing?

Hello, I am a rising sophomore and would like to know if housing assignments have been given out or will there be another round of assignments? Thank you very much.

Hello, I would like to know when the undergraduate apartment contracts for transfer students will start to be sent? Will we be notified whether we get it or not? Thanks for the help!

Hello, I am a rising sophomore who had signed a housing contract in Winter Quarter with my roommates to continue to live in a LLC. Since everyone will have to be housed in a single, will we still have the ability to live in our desired LLC? Or are LLCs going to be put on hold in a way because of limited space? Thank you, Jazz

Hello, I was offered a dorm for the Fall Quarter. If I choose to stay at home and cancel my contract for the quarter, will I still be able to get a dorm for Winter and Spring Quarter, or will I have to find an apartment? Thank you!

I've read that the second batch of contracts are scheduled to be released this week. We haven't received an email.. Has it been released?

If we execute a contract for the year for dormitory and food, and the students are sent home because of Covid, are refunds for the balance possible? Thanks.

Are they any updates to undergraduate apartments for continuing students? If not, do you have a timeline for when that information will be released?

How many students per dorm room ?

Can you clarify whether students who received the email about undergraduate apartments housing are guaranteed to receive an assignment? Are there enough spots to place everyone who already signed a contract into a single in the apartments; if not, when should we expect to receive final word whether our contracts will be honored?

When do the freshmen moving into the dorms find out when they are moving in? People need to make travel arrangements, and it’s getting close.

I completely understand why you can't guarantee housing under the 2x2 program, but you should offer at least some level of priority for the 2x2 folks who are trying to accommodate your changes for when housing goes back to normal levels. Supposedly going home out of the dorms in Spring "broke" the 2x2 contract. But given that students were acting on what the campus were asking for (as minimal a level of people in the dorms as possible), those students who left when asked to do so should not be unduly penalized for following campus requests. And now, when the campus would like to see as many cancellations on apartment housing as possible so they can accommodate Covid needs, then it would be far more effective in meeting those needs if you could assure some level of priority for those who cancel but indicate they want to come back when things open up again. While it is potentially risky to return and the Chancellor is actively encouraging people not to return, (and it would be seemingly counter UCSB's overall needs right now to return) it feels like we have to return just to make sure that we don't end up in a completely new overall lottery in Winter and then Spring as housing returns to normal. If not full priority, then have it be weighted into the consideration or give earlier time in the lottery as you do normally with the 2x2. Please consider and work together with us to meet your goals.

Hi so I know there won't be campus housing in Fall quarter, but I was wondering if there would still be meal plans for those living off campus who don't qualify for cal fresh but need food. The res halls would continue to be take-out only but I think it would be very useful for those who are food insecure but receive financial aid.
