University Housing Policies

Updated Nov. 11, 2021

Residents are expected to make mature, responsible, and respectful choices and join others in creating a positive living experience.

Residents have a right to:

• Live in an environment that is conducive to sleep and study 
• Have their human dignity respected. 
• Live in a clean and safe environment. 

As Cal Poly students, all residents are expected to uphold the policies outlined in the California State University Student Code of Conduct. Additionally, University Housing sets policies specific to the on-campus living environment to provide a safe and inclusive learning environment for all residents.

Alleged violations of University Housing and/or Cal Poly policies will be referred to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR). OSRR will investigate cases, meet with students, and determine outcomes, including administrative and educational resolutions.
