How are residents assigned to a room?

The majority of first year Muir registered students will live at Muir and have been assigned to single, double, or triple rooms in the residence halls. Second-year students and above will live in the apartment spaces in Muir. 

If you are part of a themed/LLC housing opportunity, you will be placed in the same house as others in the community.

How do I get a specific housing accommodation?

Should you need a particular housing accommodation, please contact the Office of Students with Disabilities (osd.ucsd.edu) to discuss your required housing needs. You will need to provide documentation to receive any particular accommodation.

Can I switch rooms?

If you are interested in moving to a different space, you can add yourself to the Room Change Interest List on your Housing Portal. Once a space becomes available, we will reach out to you in regards to the possible offer. The list works on a waitlist type basis so there is no ETA on a possible offer from when you opt in. If the situation is more urgent, please contact us or your House Advisor.
