As a CASP scholar, you are guaranteed housing (as long as you meet all housing deadlines). Your CASP scholarship can be applied to your housing charges once your tuition and fees are paid in full each quarter. Your housing costs are dependent on the housing choices that you make as well as which dining plans you select. In some cases, the scholarship will cover these expenses, but if you select a higher-cost housing choice, the scholarship may not cover 100% of these expenses.
CASP students are not required to make a $450 prepayment to complete the housing contracting process and will be presented with an alternative form to complete instead. For questions, please email housingcontracts@ucsd.edu.
Incoming CASP first-year students receive four years of guaranteed housing, if all housing deadlines are met. Four years is defined as 12 consecutive quarters beginning with Fall Quarter of your first year and excluding summers.
Incoming CASP transfer students receive two years of guaranteed housing, if all housing deadlines are met. Two years is defined as 6 consecutive quarters beginning with Fall Quarter of your first year and excluding summers.
No, if you are attending a UC sponsored study abroad program. However, your study abroad time does not extend your housing guarantee. Your housing guarantee continues to lapse while you are studying abroad. You can click here for more information.
