Single Rooms

Single Room Option

At this time, due to space constraints, we are not able to offer additional single rooms. Please contact housing@csum.edu if you have any questions. 

Cal Maritime is a residential university where all students are required to live on campus and participate in a meal plan while enrolled in its baccalaureate degree programs. As part of this housing policy, all students are expected to reside in a double occupancy space (i.e. have a roommate) during their time on campus.

However, occasionally space will allow for residents to obtain a single room. Single rooms are not guaranteed, and subject to availability. If space is available, Residence Life will work to assign residents to open single rooms. 

A single room has an additional $1,814 charge per semester.

Please note: Students who select a single room option agree to pay the single room rate. Because of this, it is strongly encouraged that students speak with their parents / legal guardians before agreeing to a single room, as these charges are non-refundable. Residence Life works with the students directly regarding their housing preferences, and in most cases cannot and will not discuss this information with anyone other than the student - regardless of who financially contributes to the student's housing and university costs. 

Incoming Students:

In most cases, single rooms are not available to incoming students at the start of the year. However, if space does allow, we will work to offer students single room spaces on a first come, first served basis via a waitlist. If you would like to be on this waitlist, please email housing@csum.edu. 

Returning Students:

In the StarRez housing application, there is a "Single Room Requests" page for residents to opt into. This page will become active when the room selection process begins. In order to be considered, you must submit your request through your StarRez application. When requesting a single room, you will need to agree to the single room rate which will be shown in the single room request page. 

Once you have requested a single room, your name will be placed on a waitlist. If Residence Life reaches your name on the waitlist, we will contact your via your CSUM account with the option to claim the single room.

Due to the nature of the StarRez room selection process where students select their building and room, single rooms cannot be "claimed" in advance. Additionally, students will not be removed from a room at the request of another student.

Should single room spaces become available, they will be offered to students on the waitlist, and the student will be required to decide if they would like to accept the single room available. Students may decline the offer and remain in their current location.

Should your roommate withdraw during the academic year, you will be given the opportunity to claim the full space and pay the single room rate. If you would like to do so, please inform Residence Life when you are emailed regarding room consolidation. If you do not wish to have a single room, Residence Life will include you in the consolidation process with other students who do not have a roommate. 

All students who live on campus and do not have a roommate will be required to consolidate rooms, or pay the single room rate. Students who do not respond, intentionally delay timelines, or otherwise interfere with the consolidation process will be documented and automatically charged the single room rate or pay an additional daily room fee of $30 - whichever is greater. These charges are non-refundable. 

ADA Accommodations

All room accommodation requests must be submitted through the Accessibility & Disability Services Office (ADSO). Residence Life does not accept, review, or process any documentation. Should an accommodation request be granted from the ADSO, their office will contact Residence Life on behalf of the student with the relevant information.

Please note: Accommodation requests are by availability, and not guaranteed. Residence Life has a limited number of spaces for accommodation purposes, and once those spaces are filled then a waitlist will be created. Residence Life will move through the waitlist in the order in which it was received.
