@ilovemydog2019 are those two different applications? Since I’m 25 i could only apply to ACC, so on the $20 application it asked me what my preference was for ACC.
@adreezybones Yes, they are two different applications. I did the 20 dollar one. I was confused cause I wanted the two year housing guarantee that we get as transfers but I’m think it doesn’t work if you apply directly through ACC?

Hi guys,
May I know that how long did you guys take from turned high school transcript in to approve? I turned it a week ago, and it still show incomplete, my friend turned hers in with me, she has already got approved!
@AChen459 I turned mine in Wednesday last week and it still shows on my admission portal.
@C105213 My gf and me turned in last Monday in person. She got approve, but mine is still showing lol
@AChen459 I also turned them in person. I feel they have too much on their plate. Eventually our transcripts will be cleared.
@AChen459 Sent it on Monday through my HS portal, shows Irvine received it like 3 days later.
How did you guys rank your housing? I put them in order of cheapest to most expensive…
@TatianaF I ranked them from cheapest to most expensive. I don’t mind living in a 4 or 3 bedroom. But I do want to have my own room. I hope everyone who applied is under 25 lol hahaha
Does the housing details come after you SIR?
And the reason why I said under 25 is because if you are you automatically get housed in Arroyo Vista. And AV have doubles meaning you share a room lol at least that’s what I understood in the application .
@chloesalem I think so.
I called student housing this morning and said their housing offers will be awarded around early to mid-June the latest.
We will be awarded 1 community that will have a 2-year guaranteed housing which we could still decline should we prefer a different one but it will not be guaranteed on the second year anymore.
It is then when we’ll get to choose what kind of unit, roommate preference and etc. we will get to have.
Ohhh thanks so much for posting that! I was reallly confused because the application was so short and I was like “did I make a mistake” lol. Hoping I get VDC Norte ? the other apartments are so expensive.
Oh I forgot to write that in order to be eligible for guaranteed housing, we should apply for housing through our student portal ($20) AND SIR to UCI. If you choose to apply directly with ACC ($300 refundable deposit), they cannot give you a guarantee for a 2nd year housing.
@ilovemydog2019 same here! The application was so quick and it wont let us edit or fix anything once turned in.
@C105213 May I ask what do you mean by messaging them? Were you on waitlist as well?
@xkertiax I was not on the waitlist, but I tried to let them stay informed about my classes as much as I could. I was taking two classes that were eight week courses and I had messaged them my final grades with unofficial transcripts. I messaged UCI admissions, UC center, and through my portal. So what I was trying to tell you is if you have work that you feel is relevant and can make a difference in the smallest of chances then messaged them. And I did all this messaging on April 03
@C105213 Thank you for the response! I get where you are coming from and will probably try to do the same very soon. Appreciate the feedback and help!
