What is Cal Poly fall housing?
Cal Poly fall housing is the home you arrange for the academic year that begins in fall. Options may include University Housing or an off-campus apartment, with different application steps, deadlines, lease terms and move-in plans. Check current details with Cal Poly or your chosen housing provider before committing.
First-year students should review current residency requirements and University Housing dates. Continuing students should track application windows, interest lists and assignment updates through their housing account and email.
For an off-campus option, Summit SLO offers **individual leases**. Each resident leases their own bedroom rather than signing one joint lease for the entire apartment. Roommate Matching pairs residents based on compatibility, making shared living feel intentional from move-in.
