Readmitted Students

The following information is for re-admitted Fall 2024 students who are looking for housing for the 2024-2025 academic year. The housing application is now open.

  • There may be an extremely limited number of spaces available in university housing for re-admitted students in the fall of 2024.
  • If you apply for university housing, please check your U-Mail account directly and frequently so that you don’t miss any important messages from UCSB. It may not be reliable to forward your U-Mail to an alternate email (Gmail, yahoo, Hotmail, etc.)
  • If you are interested in a UC-owned but privately managed residence hall adjacent to UCSB, please visit Tropicana Gardens.
  • If you are interested in privately-owned apartments in the community please visit our Community Housing Services page.

Personal Property Insurance

UC Santa Barbara requires renters insurance for all residents of campus housing. Renters insurance provides valuable protection if your personal belongings are stolen or damaged, including laptop computers, smartphones, bicycles, game consoles, textbooks, clothing, and other personal items. If your laptop or other valuables are stolen or damaged, you are responsible for replacing them - not the school. Renter’s insurance may also protect you financially for unintentional damage to the apartment and/ or bodily injury for which you are liable. The GradGuard insurance policy was designed for University of California students. Alternatively, you can check with your private homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy about coverage. If you don't have your housing assignment when you sign up, please use the following address:

University of California
Santa Barbara, CA  93107
