How to Apply for Housing

Welcome home, Waves! We are so excited for you to begin your new journey here at Pepperdine. 

At Housing and Residence Life (HRL), we are excited to welcome you to campus and to assist you in your transition to the University. As we await the start of the fall semester, we encourage you to review the information below regarding frequently asked housing questions and important dates.

Apply on the Housing Portal

Although living on campus is not required for two-year pathway students, those who are interested in residing on the Malibu campus are welcome to apply in the Housing Portal. Please note that space in on-campus housing will be limited for the upcoming academic year due to the large size of this year’s incoming undergraduate class. As such, we encourage two-year pathway students to visit our off-campus housing resource page to look into potential alternatives.

If you have any questions regarding the housing application process, please contact the Housing Office and we will be happy to help you!
