Frequently Asked Housing Questions

To apply, please complete a Fuller Housing online application at any time during the year.

If you are a full-time staff member interested in staff housing, please contact housing at [email protected] to confirm eligibility and availability before submitting an application.

Full-time graduate students registered for at least 24 units in a master’s level program or 16 units in a doctoral program in an academic year are eligible for Fuller Housing. Students must receive clearance from the Admissions Office and the Financial Aid Office to be eligible for Fuller Housing. International students (those who are not US Citizens or Permanent Residents) must receive a visa and clearance by the International Services Office.

Students in the following programs are NOT eligible for Fuller Housing:

• MAGL
• DMin (with the exception of Korean DMin Students)
• Certificates

We do not make offers to specific buildings and units as availability is limited. Instead, housing offers are made to the room type, and applicants may choose to accept or decline the offer. In order to ensure offers to as many applicants as possible, applicants can receive up to three offers before being moved to the end of the waitlist.

Due to limited availability and high demand for housing, we cannot guarantee housing for all applicants and cannot guarantee you will receive an offer by your expected move-in date. Due to the nature of the lease agreement, we cannot determine when a tenant will move out until they submit a 30-day notice. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that you will receive a specific unit type or location that will be available at your expected move-in date.

As soon as we receive a 30-day notice, we will send an offer to the next eligible student on the housing waitlist. Offer emails will be sent out 4–8 weeks before your move-in date. If you have not heard from us 6–8 weeks before your earliest date, please contact us at [email protected].

Yes, you can apply for Fuller Housing once you have received a G#, which is issued upon completion of your Fuller Admissions application. However, to be approved for Fuller Housing, you must be admitted as a Fuller student. It is your responsibility to immediately inform the Housing Office when you hear back about your Admissions decision.

Fuller Housing does not provide a roommate matching service. If interested in finding a roommate, a post can be made in the Quad.

If you would like to have a roommate, it is your responsibility to find an eligible Fuller student of the same sex to room with you. If you and another student agree to become roommates, both of you must contact the Housing Office in order to inform us of the match if you wish to be considered for an offer.

You will receive your assigned parking space number, permit, and gate opener upon move-in. ONLY ONE PARKING SPOT PER APARTMENT is guaranteed. Park only in your assigned garage or parking space, with your permit clearly shown in the window at all times. When parking on the street or visitor area, observe the parking signs. Do not park in anyone else’s space, garage, or in front of a garage as your car may be subject to towing at your expense. For additional parking information, please contact Parking Services.

Fuller Seminary’s Access Services engages students with physical, learning, emotional, and temporary disabilities to determine collaboratively whether and what kinds of reasonable accommodations might be necessary to provide access to academic courses and programs at Fuller.

Fuller Housing is a pet-free facility. Residents with disabilities may be approved by the Access Services Office to have a service animal or emotional support animal in their on-campus apartment, after going through an approval process. Below you’ll find some important reminders about Fuller’s Service & Support Animal Policy. This policy exists to protect both residents and approved service and support animals.

• “The seminary supports the availability of Service and Assistance Animals to individuals with disabilities... The Service and Assistance Animal Policy of Fuller Theological Seminary is based on the most recent interpretations of applicable laws, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.” This means that any animals living in Fuller Housing facilities are an accommodation for someone with a documented disability. They are not pets.

• “Care and supervision of the animal are the responsibility of the individual who benefits from the Approved Animal’s use. The Handler is required to maintain control of the animal at all times.” This means that a resident who is approved to have a service animal or ESA is solely responsible for feeding, walking, and toileting the animal. Neighbors and roommates are not responsible for and should not participate in the care of a service animal or ESA.

• “Approved Animals may not be left overnight in housing to be cared for by another student. Animals must be taken with the student if they leave campus overnight or for a more prolonged period of time.” This means that, because service animals and ESAs are an accommodation (not a pet) that makes Fuller Housing accessible for residents with disabilities, they should remain with their handler on overnight or longer trips.

Following these policies is a way to care for our residents with disabilities as well as their service or support animals. If you have a disability and would like to begin the process of service or support animal approval, please reach out to Access Services at [email protected]. You can read more about service and support animals here at the Access Services page on the Quad.
