Room Sign-up Process Workshop
Returning to University Housing Q & A
What is Room Sign Up (RSU)?
2023-2024 academic year rates are now available!
Please note, beginning in winter 2024, Gayley Towers will be under construction. If you are living in Landfair Vista, there may be noise impacts from the construction.
UCLA Housing Room Sign Up (RSU) is an online process that provides eligible returning undergraduate residents the opportunity to select their housing for the next academic year. All eligible students interested in housing for the 2023-2024 academic year must submit their application and participate in RSU in order to receive a housing offer. Students who do not select a room during RSU will not be extended a housing offer.
If your classification is “Undergraduate Returner,” Housing Services will notify you via email of your eligibility for RSU, and you must apply via the online application portal by 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 7, 2023. You have to submit the application to participate in RSU — we encourage you to apply even if you may choose different housing later.
We will be hosting a webinar about the application and RSU process on Wednesday, February 1, 2023. Check back here for the link to attend live or view the recording once complete.
Your specific Room Sign Up time will be emailed to you after the application deadline.

Because our housing portal system operates on a binary, in order to allow students who have selected gender inclusive the widest variety of options, students will need to work with a Housing Services representative to select their room during RSU.
• If students have formed a gender inclusive roommate group, once their timeslot has begun, the group leader will need to either come in person to the Housing Services Office, or LiveChat to select the building and room for their group.
• If you do not form a roommate group, you will still need to come in person or LiveChat during Main RSU to select your space for the academic year.
• Any building or room can be selected, but please note that if your roommate group does not fill the entire room, suite, or unit, any other student who has selected gender inclusive housing, regardless of gender, can select the open space. If an open space remains after RSU, Housing Services will assign another student who requested gender inclusive housing to the space.

If non-binary students wish to live only with other non-binary students, they should not select Gender Inclusive housing. For those who wish to live with other students of different gender identities, they should select Gender Inclusive housing and can review the gender inclusive RSU process above.
