Room Type and Roommate Preferences

The housing application is your chance to:

  • Indicate your preferences of area and room type. Preferences are not guaranteed but we will do our best to assign you according to availability
  • Request specific roommates or make no selection and we will assign them for you. Roommate preferences are not guaranteed but we will do our best to assign you together.

MyHousing Dashboard Login Issue

If you are a newly admitted student and are getting an error when accessing your MyHousing please note that it may take 48 hours after receiving your CSUMB credentials for our system to update and make the MyHousing Dashboard available to you.

If you do not have access to the New Student Application, it may take up to 7-10 business days for processing of your enrollment confirmation fee payment before the New Student App is available in your MyHousing Dashboard. If you are still experiencing issues after this time, please reach out to Admissions to confirm and verify that your enrollment confirmation fee payment has been processed.

Current Resident Applicants

These instructions are for new residents only. If you are a current resident, you will apply through Reservation Days.
