Housing Mission Statement and Policy

The Housing Office furthers the goals of Caltech by providing convenient, attractive housing. To this end, the Housing Office guarantees housing for all undergraduate students and all first year graduate students who apply by the deadlines. After these guarantees, the first priority of Housing is to provide temporary furnished and unfurnished housing for Moore Scholars, visiting professors and other short-term faculty and research and/or academic related visitors to the Institute. The second priority is to provide transitional housing for recruitment purposes of faculty. The third priority is to provide transitional housing for newly hired postdoctoral fellows and limited housing for graduate students with families. These rentals are managed by the Housing Office in accordance with these priorities and the current needs of the Institute.
