Housing and Utilities

Yes, in order to be considered for UCLA Housing, you must submit an application through My Housing by June 30. Submitted applications are assigned lottery numbers, which dictate the order in which housing offers are made. Lottery number assignments are made on July 6 of the application year for all applications received by July 1. In addition, incoming UCLA Anderson MBA students who have paid their deposit and submitted their Student Intent to Register (SIR) form can also submit the MBA-420: Limited UCLA Anderson Housing Survey to be considered for the UCLA Anderson lottery. We will notify admitted students when the MBA-420: Limited UCLA Anderson Housing Survey opens in late April.

The UCLA Housing application fee is $30 and is nonrefundable. The application fee does not guarantee a housing offer, or that an apartment will be available at the time the applicant wants to move in. The application and offer timeline can be found here.

If you are selected for a UCLA Housing allocation through the UCLA Anderson lottery, you will be guaranteed a place on the UCLA Anderson priority housing list for either a Single or Family allocation, however, a Housing allocation is not guaranteed. UCLA Housing will manage the allocation process based on the preferences submitted in your UCLA Housing application and apartment availability. If none of your preferences are available, UCLA Housing will not be able to provide you with a housing allocation. Please note that Family allocations are rare and that UCLA Anderson has a very limited number of Family allocations. Also, The Boulevard apartment building for Single allocations is owned by the medical school and gives priority to UCLA Medical's House Staff.

Lottery offers will begin in early July. Offers will be made on a regular basis depending on space availability. Students included on a departmental priority list are given the highest priority and are offered first. After them, graduate students from the regular UCLA Housing lottery are considered. Lottery housing offers will continue to be made throughout the entirety of the academic year until mid-April of the following year, when inventory is allocated to the next year's incoming applicants. Once on the waiting list, you can check in periodically by sending an email to uclahousing@housing.ucla.edu to determine your position on the waiting list.

Single graduate students have the option to apply for housing in six University apartment complexes. If students are offered a studio or 1 bedroom accommodation in Single Graduate Housing, they may request to add an Additional Tenant to their contract. Students with families are housed exclusively in University Village. Please review UCLA Housing’s website for more information on the types of apartments available, virtual tours and housing rates.

The University (UCLA Housing) will ask residents to provide original or certified copies of documents that demonstrate proof of eligibility. Students should be prepared to provide a marriage certificate/domestic partnership registration and/or birth certificates of any children. Shared utility bills, joint banking statements and rental agreements that establish at minimum a one-year relationship may also be used to show proof of relationship.
