Housing at SDSU Imperial Valley in Calexico is open to current Imperial Valley College and SDSU Imperial Valley students.
To qualify for student housing in Calexico, IVC students must:
Students who meet low-income household criteria through one of the following programs — the Pell Grant, Cal Grant, California Community College Promise Grant or California Dream Act (AB 540) — will receive priority consideration as part of the program’s affordability focus. IVC students who do not receive these forms of aid are still eligible to apply and live in the student housing community at SDSU Imperial Valley in Calexico.
All students who live in the student housing community in Calexico are required to provide proof of all mandatory immunizations prior to move-in. For more information on immunization requirements for all residents, visit the Immunization Requirements on the SDSU webpage.
Imperial Valley College students will be supported in the housing process through the San Diego State University Office of Housing Administration (OHA), which works to pair roommates who attend the same campus whenever possible. This includes matching IVC students with other IVC students or with SDSU Imperial Valley students to help foster a strong, shared academic community.
Roommate assignments also consider similar age groups, such as under 21 or 21 and older. All units are assigned based on each resident’s self-identified gender, and mixed-gender units are not available.
IVC students who already have a preferred roommate may indicate this in the OHA Housing Portal application once it becomes available. All students must meet eligibility requirements to be considered for on-campus housing.
