Fall 2025 On-Campus Housing Step-by-Step Application Guide

Congratulations on being part of the Bulldog family! As you plan your arrival to Fresno State, if you are interested in living in on-campus housing for the 2025-2026 Academic Year, please follow the steps below.
  1. Submit an online Fall 2025 application through the housing website:
    Fresno State Student Housing – Fresno State's Only On-Campus Student Housing (fresnostatehousing.org)
    Applications open on February 1, 2025, and we encourage you to apply early.
  2. You will log in using your Fresno State email account login info. If you don’t have a Fresno State student account yet, simply create one through this link: https://idm.fresnostate.edu/signup/ using your Fresno State ID number (you can find it in your admission letter). After you are logged in, make sure to click on Housing Application, Fall 2025
  3. At the end of the application, there is a $50 non-refundable application fee and a $150 Initial Down Payment, meaning you must pay $200 to submit your application. Your application will not be processed without the $200 payment.  
  4. After you have submitted your housing application, you will receive your housing contract via AdobeSign via your FresnoState email within 3-5 business days after you have submitted the application with receipt of payment. 
  5. You need to sign the contract electronically. If you have a designated payor, they will be sent the Adobe contract once you have signed. Once all parties have signed, then it will get reviewed within two weeks.
  6. The next step after that is an email from the Housing office, stating that you have been guaranteed a bed space in on-campus housing.  

If you want to receive more information about on-campus housing or if you believe you have completed the housing application but do not receive any response within two (2) weeks, please contact the on-campus housing 24-hour front desk at 1-559-278-2345 or housing@csufresno.edu. If you encounter any difficulties connecting with on-campus Housing, contact the International Office at international@mail.fresnostate.edu and we will facilitate your connection with them.
