Assignments
We can offer housing assignments only to certified students. To be certified, you must have submitted your USC Enrollment Commitment Deposit form and the $300 enrollment deposit, or approved waiver, to the Office of Admission.

The USC Housing Services Office makes assignments based on the following criteria:

• The date your application is received by USC Housing Services (If you requested a roommate, the official application date for both you and your roommate will be considered to be the average of your application dates.)
• Available spaces in the buildings or programs you have requested and for which you are eligible.

Your assignment will be as close to your requests as possible, based on availability and eligibility; however, there is a possibility that this contract may not match any of your building preferences. (Please note that your room or apartment number is not part of your contract and subject to change without notice.)

Freshmen, (defined by USC Housing as recent high school graduates with no college credits), whose housing applications are received by USC Housing on or before May 1, are guaranteed housing. This is not a guarantee of a particular type of assignment or a specific building. Early receipt of your housing application increases your chances of being assigned to one of your building or program preferences; it does not guarantee it.

We are unable to guarantee housing to transferring undergraduate or new graduate students. Assignments are based on application date and availability.

Contracts
Once you have been assigned a housing space, you will be notified by e-mail. You can then log on to the Housing website and review your housing contract.

You may submit your $400 confirmation payment electronically by Visa, Mastercard or Discover card. If you remain in housing for the full term of your contract, the confirmation payment will be credited to your student account in the final month of your contract.

To confirm your assignment, first read through the Living Agreement. Then, you must click on the ‘I Agree’ button to agree to the terms and finalize your contract; if you fail to do so, your assignment will be cancelled. Clicking on the ‘I Agree’ button is the electronic equivalent of signing a contract, and by doing so you are agreeing to be legally bound by the terms of the Living Agreement.

If you do not confirm your contract and make the confirmation payment by the due date indicated, your assignment will be cancelled and given to another applicant.

If you have a required meal plan, this page will show the default, mandatory meal plan for your assignment. You can add or change a meal plan at the USCard website http://www.usc.edu/uscard.

Once you have accepted the contract, you will see a confirmation page, summarizing the basic details of your housing assignment. Please print a copy for your personal records.
