CONTINUING STUDENT HOUSING APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR Academic Year 2026-2027

The Academic Year 2026-2027 housing application will become available online on USFRooms beginning February 1st. 

All continuing students who apply by the continuing student deadline will receive a room selection timeslot.

All current or deferred current sophomore students who apply by the continuing student deadline will be guaranteed housing as a second year student on campus as long as they select a room during room selection. If you do not select a room during room selection, your housing will no longer be guaranteed and you will be added to the waitlist. 

All continuing students who apply for housing and do not receive a room will be automatically added to the waitlist. Please note that just because you receive a timeslot does not mean you are guaranteed to receive a room (unless you are a sophomore covered by the housing guarantee). If there are no rooms available when you participate in room selection, you will be automatically added to the waitlist and will be contacted if rooms become available later.

Housing Stats for Continuing Students

On-campus housing for students is very limited at the University of San Francisco, which is especially true for students after their sophomore year. It is important for students to take housing limitations into account when planning their college experience. Student Housing is committed to helping students transition to life off-campus by offering a number of resources to help students and families with the housing search. Included below are some facts about housing for continuing students, which aim to assist students with making informed decisions about the college experience and securing housing that works best for each individual.

Percentages of Returning Students Housed

In terms of concrete numbers, the most important thing to recognize is that the majority of our students live off-campus. Broken down by academic class, the percentages of students who live on-campus look like this:

RISING Sophomores

Second year students are only guaranteed housing if they apply by the deadline and select a bedspace during room selection. If a second year student misses their room selection timeslot, does not apply by the posted deadline, or does not select a bed space during their timeslot, they will not be guaranteed a bedspace and will be added to the waitlist.

Juniors and Seniors

  • 1/4 of eligible students apply to live on campus their junior or senior year.
  • 1/3 of students who apply are housed. 
  • Please note that housing availability is impacted by the housing guarantee of our 1st and 2nd year students.
  • It is important for students to recognize that they are likely to begin living off-campus as early as their third year.

Off Campus Living Resources

We understand that the prospect of finding an apartment in San Francisco can be challenging, particularly for students who have never rented an apartment before. To support students with the transition to living off campus, we have established some helpful resources found on the Off Campus Living website to help students navigate the search process and assist with finding safe and affordable housing.
