The USC Housing Renewal (UHR) program is designed to assist current residents in getting their housing for the upcoming year. Participating in UHR gives residents priority for assignments over non-resident students and new transfers, as long as they follow all UHR procedures and meet all deadlines.<\/p>\n
Freshmen currently living in university housing may take advantage of USC’s Sophomore Guarantee for the following year.\u00a0 Provided they comply with all UHR deadlines and procedures, they will be guaranteed a space in USC housing for their sophomore year. Please see our FAQ<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n UHR takes place almost entirely online. Applications are submitted on our online portal\u00a0during a designated period in January each year. Continuing residents must apply during this period in order to participate in UHR.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n UHR\u2019s categories take into consideration the type of housing that participants are looking for, as well as their current assignments and class standing.<\/p>\n Searching for and requesting roommates is easy using our online tools. Assignment and contracting are also done online, at times specified in each category.<\/p>\n After assignments in the General Lottery are completed, students will have the opportunity to cancel their contracts by defined deadlines and\u00a0may request reassignment.<\/p>\n UHR participants who don\u2019t have a confirmed contract at the end of the General Lottery and still want university housing may sign up for the UHR Wait List.<\/p>\n More complete information about renewal procedures and timelines can be found in our\u00a0UHR brochure<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> which will be available at Customer Service Centers and on this website beginning in\u00a0early January.<\/p>\n Housing rents change every year. The rental rates for the upcoming academic year will be available on our website at the time the UHR application opens each January.<\/p>\n\n\n
