Housing Information for Incoming Students

Whether you are moving into Chi Rho or one of our many other residential halls, Concordia University Irvine is dedicated to providing the finest residential experience to our students. Receiving the best liberal arts education is part of the mission of Concordia, and things such as our on-campus library, computer labs, and our Student Success Center are a few ways in which we make an effort to create this environment. However, there is also a time for students to relax and enjoy the many amenities offered on campus including ping-pong and our CU Active fitness center. Additionally, there are many opportunities to get to know other students and to get involved through student leadership programs or intramural sports. Overall, the Residential Education and Services department is committed to making sure our students receive a great education, while enjoying the many benefits associated with living on campus.

Steps to Complete Your Housing Application 

Applications are made available on November 1 for the following academic year. Wait at least 48 hours after you receive your CUI Admissions acceptance packet before signing up for housing.

  1. In order to submit a housing application, you must be admitted by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and have submitted your $300 enrollment deposit.
  2. Begin at eRezLife.com
  3. Select Activate Account
  4. Enter your Eagles Email address* and Student ID to Activate your Account (found in your admissions acceptance packet)
  5. Select “Apply for Housing” to begin your application
  6. Once you have submitted your application, select “My Roommate Profile” in the left menu and select “Turn on my profile*” so other applicants can select you as their roommate. *this is optional but necessary if you wish to request roommates.
  7. Once all parties have submitted their application and activated their Roommate profile, you can select “Roommate Groups” and create a preferred group to room with.

Consider applying for one of our Living Learning Communities (LLC) which are distinctive, theme-based residential learning environments. Each Living Learning Community has limited participation so it’s important to apply as early as possible (note: LLC housing is charged the Quads rate). 

*If you need assistance with your Eagles email address, or have any additional questions, contact Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (949) 214-3010 or [email protected].
