On-Campus Living. University Courtyard, Fresno State's on-campus living complex, provides an opportunity for residents to become part of a community of students. Residents share experiences, learn to trust one another, and support each other in achieving academic success.
Accommodations. The remodeled air conditioned/heated rooms include an extra long twin bed over an 80" x 36" desk, three-drawer dresser, two-drawer file cabinet, book carrel with task light, two-position chair, and closet with storage space above for each resident. A meal plan, computer lab, basic cable service, utilities, fitness center, outdoor swimming pool, laundry facility, recreation facilities, and community custodial services are included.
Residence Hall Living. The convenience of on-campus living makes it easy to go to and from class, use the campus library, and attend dances, plays, lectures, sporting events, and concerts during evenings and weekends.
The halls offer interesting programs designed to add an exciting dimension to on-campus living. Social activities include karaoke, bowling, special dinners, barbecues, and movies. Educational programs provide information on such topics as alcohol awareness, appreciation of differences, and personal safety.
Individual Halls. The housing complex consists of nine residence halls, the Atrium Customer Service Building, and the Residence Dining Facility. Baker, Graves, and Homan Halls are designed to encourage community development. Aspen, Birch, Cedar, Ponderosa, Sequoia, and Sycamore provide shared one-, two-, or three-bedroom residence suites with a furnished living room and bathroom. Quiet, substance-free, and international living areas are available. All halls house men on one floor, wing, or suite and women on another. Up to 1,000 students can live on campus.
The majority of the rooms are shared by two students, although approximately 145 single rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Staff. Trained professionals are available to help make your stay in the residence halls enjoyable. They develop social, cultural, educational, and recreational activities and opportunities.
Augmenting the staff are the resident directors, assistant resident directors, resident advisers, and public safety assistants. Serving as student leaders on each floor, residence life staff receive training in active listening and crisis intervention. They understand university structure; they can assist students with academic-related issues, emergencies, and personal concerns.
How to Apply. The housing application process is separate from the university admissions process.
Applications are available in February for the academic year and in October for the spring semester. You are urged to apply early since on-campus space is limited and current residents receive priority room selection. Your license agreement is for an entire academic year.
All first-time undergraduate university applicants automatically receive housing information. You need not wait until you are officially accepted by the university to submit your housing application. If you are denied admission, your deposit will be refunded (less a $50 processing fee) after you notify us in writing a minimum of 30 days prior to housing opening for the academic year. To request a housing application, contact the Housing Office at (800) 555-0482 or (559) 278-2345.
Employment Opportunities. Students living in the residence halls receive priority consideration for student positions available in housing, food services, athletics, and the bookstore. Information is included in your housing application packet.
Priority Registration. Current residents who sign up by April 14 to return to the halls for the following year receive priority registration for courses.
Off-Campus Housing. For information on houses, rooms, and students
looking for roommates, call (559) 278-1000. The university does not inspect,
approve, or disapprove any units offered for rent.
