Questions Regarding Summer Orientation 2020 & COVID-19

Due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) in the United States and California, San Francisco State has limited services at this time. However, the University and New Student Programs is currently evaluating options to provide an enjoyable and beneficial orientation experience.

As of March 30th, 2020, New Student Orientation will be facilitated online. Our team is currently in the process of developing the online orientation materials and we will update this website periodically with more information on a regular basis. We're very excited to engage with you and provide all new students a meaningful experience while they successfully transition to San Francisco State University!

APPLY FOR HOUSING FOR FALL 2020

On-campus housing at San Francisco State University is limited and in high demand. While living on campus is not required, it is also not guaranteed and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The Housing Office highly recommends students submit their housing application as soon as the housing portal opens in order to increase their chances of obtaining a space and to avoid being put on the wait list.

Because housing is limited, completing the application and submitting the initial fee by March 31 is essential and increases your chances for obtaining housing.
