How are the IPP housing units configured?

All IPP housing units consist of two-bedroom apartments. Each unit's bedrooms may be occupied by one student (designated "single room" on the Housing and Meal Plan Agreement) or two students (designated "double room" on the Agreement), so that each apartment can house a minimum of two and a maximum of four students per academic session.

Each IPP housing unit has one bathroom with two sinks. If both bedrooms are occupied by one student, then two people share a bathroom. If both bedrooms are occupied by two students, then the bathroom is shared by four students.

Does Saguaro Hall have kitchen facilities? Yes. There is a common kitchen on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors of the building for use by the residents of each floor. Each kitchen has a refrigerator, stove and sink. Residents must supply their own cookware and utensils for use in the common kitchen.
Are laundry facilities available? Yes. There is a laundry room with coin-operated washing machines and dryers on the first floor of Saguaro Hall.
Is parking available? Yes. You will need to purchase a Student Parking Permit. Permits may be purchased at University Cash Services located in Bayramian Hall (See Campus Map). For more information on parking, visit the Parking and Transportation Service web page.

May I select my own roommate?

Yes. You do this by entering the name of the IPP student you wish to have as your roommate in the "Roommate Profile" in Section D of the Housing and Meal Plan Agreement.

How do I check in to gain access to my IPP housing unit? You must check in at the IPP Housing Office to receive your housing key.

If I would like to arrive a few days early or postpone my departure date, can this be arranged?

Early check in or late checkout may be possible when extra housing is available. Request must be made in writing to the IPP Housing office. Mail it to the address above, fax to (818) 677-2700, email ipphousing@csun.edu or visit IPP Housing office in-person.
