There are no residential programs or housing offered through UCLA Summer Sessions. Housing is ONLY available through UCLA Housing to students who will be 17 years of age or older by June 22, 2026. Per official campus policy, UCLA Housing will NOT approve any exceptions for students who are 15 or 16 years old.

If you are 17+ and enrolled in a Summer Course, SCIP, or Summer Precollege Focus Series, you may apply for housing through the UCLA Housing application which opens in mid-May. Housing contracts are for periods of 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12 weeks. To learn more about campus living, take the virtual tour of the residential halls and watch our UCLA housing videos.

For students who prefer the independence of living off-campus, UCLA also offers furnished University Apartments near campus. To be eligible for University Apartments, students must be 18 years of age or older by June 22, 2026. For more information on summer housing opportunities, please visit UCLA Housing Services.

UCLA Summer Sessions is unable to advise on housing options; therefore, it is up to the student/family enrolled in courses/programming to determine independent housing accommodations.

Housing offered through UCLA Housing is not designed for high school students, and will therefore provide no residential/evening activities, no curfew, and no supervision outside of the general housing staff who are assigned to each residential hall. Therefore, families of precollege students should consider these factors before applying for a housing contract with UCLA Housing. Please direct questions about housing staff and protocols to UCLA Housing.

Program staff for SCIP and Precollege Summer Focus Series may offer non-curricular evening or weekend activities; the availability of which is at the sole discretion of the department offering the program.

SCIP and Precollege Summer Focus Series attendance for academic programming, co-curricular events, and team-building extracurricular activities, unless otherwise specified, is mandatory. You must participate in and be punctual to all required activities, including, but not limited to, orientations, classes, group meetings, and excursions. Program faculty and administrators reserve the right to dismiss a participant for repeated tardiness to and/or unauthorized absences from required activities for reasons other than unforeseen emergencies; program fees will not be refundable in the event of dismissal. Parents/guardians should consult the program administrators concerning any foreseeable absence as soon as possible.
