My preferences now:
Webb Tower-2B3P-SINGLE
Webb Tower- 1B2P
Webb Tower- 2B4P
Parkside-1B2P
Parkside- 2B3P-A1
I have heard that Webb and Parkside are the best on-campus housing other than Village. I might put one Village as my top choice.
@vegastransfer I applied and paid for housing at the end of April before I heard back from USC, so I am hoping if they will consider me finishing my application in April.
@vegastransfer what is SIR?
Also, since I was admitted for spring, I should still apply for housing asap correct? The USC Housing page says that Spring 2020 Application opens July 1st.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to have the SIR fee waived? I’m low income and had my application fee waived.
what number should i call to contact admission to ask if they got my SGR that i sent long ago? (it still says awaiting) thanks in advance.
@okaecollege You are right.
"USC Housing accepts spring 2020 applications beginning July 1, 2019. If you mail your application, your application date is the date we receive your form in our office, not the postmarked date. (Applications received earlier than July 1 will be grouped with those turned in on July 1.) However, we recommend that you apply online. Due to high demand and the uncertain supply of housing space, you should apply early for the best chance of getting a housing assignment and the best selection of available spaces. We expect the majority of spring applications to be received on July 1.
Housing assignments for spring 2020 will be made in late November 2019. Assignments will be made based on application date, gender and availability. As described above, the availability of housing, especially spaces in freshman buildings, will be limited. Applicants will be placed in the space best matching their preferences that is available at the time their assignment is made.
As space allows, freshman admitted for spring will be assigned to available freshman housing. However, in order to ensure that they are offered university housing, most spring freshmen will be placed in non-freshman undergraduate buildings.
Students will be notified of their assignments by e-mail and directed to the USC Housing website to confirm their contracts.
Students assigned for the spring are not eligible for reassignment prior to Move-In but may request over the counter reassignment in mid-January.
Move-In Day for spring residents is January 9, 2020."
@okaecollege SIR = statement of intent to register. It just means you’ve committed to USC. You submit the SIR when you pay your enrollment deposit.
@ncityusc Yes, you can submit an enrollment deposit waiver. That is how I was able to SIR immediately after being accepted since I am also low-income. There should be an option to submit the waiver when you get to the SIR page if you qualify for one. It should let you know immediately if it was approved or not.
@sagaciousforever I applied for housing on May 4th, 3 days after being accepted. So I am hoping that means I am up on the list a little bit. My choices were:
Cardinal Gardens: 2B4P (gender neutral housing)
Century: 2B4P/SM
Century 2B4P/LG
Webb Tower: STU-2P
Cale: 2B4P Loft
So I put the village as my last option. I know it is unlikely but I still wanted to express my interest in the option.
@vegastransfer I just realized that housing application for Spring begins on July 1st, so I can just put whatever for Fall now.
I am thinking to email USC housing in case I get Fall housing to see if they can put the same room assignment that I get in (if I do) for Fall to Spring.
@sagaciousforever Will they still assign you something for Fall if you were admitted for Spring? I am not sure how all of that works. Hopefully you are able to get the single that you want!
Does anybody know if we are allowed to choose graduate housing as one of our options? Troy Hall has some very cheap rents ($515-755 per month for the ones I would choose). It shows up on my list of choices, but I do not want to put anything that I for sure cannot get assigned to. I am really aiming for the most economically feasible options and Troy seems like the cheapest option.
@sagaciousforever my DD really liked Parkside her freshman year. She lived right above Trader Joe’s at the Village this past year. She preferred Parkside btw! 
Edited to add both have A/C and are super new and nice!
Zero chance of single. Zero. They are long gone on in the first few minutes of housing applications for regular students. They will not assign you for fall if you are spring. The housing info above on spring admits is for FRESHMAN spring admits, not transfer spring admits. Two different groups.
“Housing assignments for transferring undergraduates, continuing non-resident undergraduates, and new and continuing graduate students will be made on a space available basis. Availability of housing for these applicants depends on the number spaces vacated at the end of the fall semester.”
Is it safe to assume that no will else is getting in for fall 2020? Is it just spring 2020 from now on?
@bissmiss Well this is definitely a crazy application cycle, but every year people continue to get admitted for the fall semester in June and even in July. The spring admit thing just seems very random to me, haha. I was admitted in early June and was a spring admit. Yet, in late June, a Marshall student states they got in for the fall. They shouldn’t be done with fall admits yet.
@zettasyntax ooooo okie thank you!!
still haven’t heard back (committed somewhere else though)
congrats everyone!!
@bissmiss There’ll definitely be more fall acceptances especially since not every who got accepted so far will be attending.
However, it’s important to note that USC does have a fairly high yield rate. Out of 9,673 applicants, 2,338 of them were admitted for Fall 2018. Out of the 2,338 admits, 1,448 of them did enroll for Fall.
@mase31 so roughly ~50% choose to go. That’s not too bad.
@GotYa55 Yeah I think the pamphlet says 60 or 62%. But admission to USC tbh all Californian colleges is getting more and more competitive. It’s not just the number of qualified applicants that people need to be worried about but the increasing standards.
