UC San Diego acceleRATE Summer Program 2017
Eligibility, Contract Process/Payment and Early Move-In Session
Residents currently living on campus during the 2016-17 academic year will be part of the HDH
acceleRATE Summer Program designed to help those current UC San Diego student’s progress towards
their degree more affordably. All summer housing residents must be enrolled in order to be eligible
for on campus housing. The acceleRATE Summer Program does not require a mandatory dining plan
and does not include custodial services.
UC San Diego students participating in paid internships with the university are not eligible for on
campus housing. If you are participating in an internship where you will receive credit towards your
degree, you will qualify for on campus housing under the acceleRATE Summer Program.
Your housing application will be processed within 3-5 days by Housing Administrative Services.
After, you will receive an email with the link to submit a prepayment in the amount of $150.00 via Echeck. This $150.00 prepayment cannot be paid via your student account on Triton Link, as there
will not be a charge on your student account. Instead, you will be directed to a secure third-party site to
make the prepayment. Please make sure that you have the following information ready when you make
your e-check payment: name of the bank account holder, bank account number and routing number.
Once your payment has been processed, you will receive a final email with the contract link in order to
complete your personal history form and sign your housing contract. You will have three days from the
time that you receive the contract link to complete the summer housing contract process. Failure
to complete the contract process within the given deadline of three days will result in your application
being considered null and void by the Housing Office. You will be notified via email of your application
status. If you are having problems with the contracting process, please email the Summer Housing Team
at [email protected] with your name and your PID.
Housing session dates/ rates can be found on the Housing Calendar, Cost and Payment Schedule 2017.
EARLY MOVE IN SESSION (Pre-Regular Session Summer Housing)
Students currently housed on campus for the 2016-17 academic year are also eligible to contract for the
early move-session: June 18th through July 1st. Students will not be able to select the early move in
option until AFTER they have selected their regular session date, submitted their prepayment and
signed their contract. After you have contracted for your regular session you will be sent the link
to sign up for the early move in session.
Students will be authorized to stay in their current spaces the evenings of Saturday, June 17th and
Sunday June 18th. The first day of your contract begins on Sunday, June 18th however students will not
move to their summer space until Monday, June 19th between the hours of 9:00AM and 1:00PM.
Students who are unable to move out of their current academic space and move in to their
summer allocation during the designated day and timeframe given will not be able to contract for
the early move-in session. There will be no exceptions. The deadline to apply for the early movein session is Friday, May 26th.
Cancellation of the Early Move -In Session ONLY
Students wishing to drop the early move in session while keeping their regular session may do so
without penalty through June 1st. Student’s dropping early move in session only must send an email
to [email protected] with your name and PID stating that that you are dropping the early move
in session. Students failing to notify the university that they are no longer contracting for this
session by June 1st will be assessed a cancellation fee in the amount of $150.00.
Assurance of Original Accommodations after Cancelling Early Move In
Students dropping the early move in session may be subject to a change in room assignment.
Self-Selection Process, Optional Dining Plans and Priority Deadlines
Summer Housing Self Select
As an acceleRATE summer housing applicant you will be able to self-select your summer space. You
cannot pick your summer allocation until after you have fully completed the contract process online
(i.e. submitting your prepayment and signing the housing contract). Students who have not submitted
their prepayment and electronically signed their housing contract will not be authorized to pick their
summer housing allocation. Students who have completed both but have not self- selected their
summer space by June 1st for any session beginning on July 2nd will be assigned a summer
space. Your space will be assigned depending on availability.
Students wishing to room with another student will need to communicate with potential roommates in
order to see which space (i.e. building, room, suite, etc.) they have selected. Students may then go in to
see if a space is available in that room and/or suite. It is highly suggested that students wishing to room
together, apply and complete the contract process around the same time in order to better your chances
of picking a summer allocation in the same room and/or suite.
