Winter and Spring Housing
Updated Dec. 12, 2016
In addition to housing contracts that run for the academic year (from September to June), students can also apply to the interest list for housing during the winter and spring or housing for spring only. Available to all students including freshmen, continuing and transfer students.
- Winter and Spring Housing
Includes housing during both the winter and spring quarter, starting Jan. 7.
Cal Poly does not offer housing for just the winter quarter because housing contracts, once in effect, are for the duration of the academic year.
Eligible for the installment payment plan.
- Spring Housing
Includes housing during the spring quarter, starting April 2.
Because the duration of the contract is shorter, the installment payment plan is not available.
Apply for the Interest List
Students interested in living on campus for the winter and spring quarter or for the spring quarter can email University Housing to be placed on the interest list. Be sure to:
- Email: housing@calpoly.edu
- Use your Cal Poly email
- Include your full name and Cal Poly ID. You can find it on the personal tab of your Cal Poly Portal.
