Students
currently living in the Residence Halls have the opportunity to apply
to live in the CERRO VISTA APARTMENTS for the 2007-2008 Academic Year.
The
following is an outline of the application process for the
CERRO VISTA lottery along with important
dates and deadlines.
To apply for the Cerro Vista lottery, students access the Housing Application System through the Cal Poly portal (my.calpoly.edu), using their Cal Poly portal user name and password then selecting the "Housing" tab and then the "Housing Application System." Application system available daily 8 am to 10 pm.
Please note:
a deposit is NOT required
to enter the CERRO VISTA lottery, however, residents
who are successful in the lottery will need to be prepared to pay
the first installment payment (or single Academic Year payment) with the return of
their Student Housing License Agreement to the State Cashiers on or before the due date of April 4, 2007. Payments must be received no later than 4:30pm or the resident will forfeit his/her space in the Cerro Vista Apartments. Students receiving Financial
Aid need to return the completed License Agreement marked " by Financial
Aid" as method of payment.
Roommate Preferences: During the application process, students will have the opportunity to select up to three roommates of the same sex. All roommates must request all other roommates using their HOUSING ID NUMBERS. If even one roommate forgets or does not request the other roommate/roommates then all requests within the group will be invalid and the group will be split up and become individual applicants rather than roommates. *It is recommended that those who have requested roommates return to the application system prior to Tuesday, March 6, the last date to apply to the lottery, to be sure all requests are valid.

CERRO VISTA LOTTERY
Because demand for the CERRO
VISTA apartments is expected to be high, only current on-campus residents
will be able to apply to the initial apartment lottery. Beginning April 13, 2007, on-campus residents who missed the lottery AND students who
live off-campus will have an opportunity to place their names on the
Cerro Vista Interest List.
The cost for living in the apartments
for the 2007-2008 academic year is estimated to be $5,784* with two different payment
plans to choose from, all of which equate to approximately $675 for
a 30-day period.
* Housing cost is subject to change and executive order approval.
