As a transfer student coming to Chapman, you have two options for housing. You can either:
- Apply to live in Chapman housing, which means you'll be placed in one of our available spaces in the apartments
- Find off-campus housing, including apartments and houses that are unaffiliated with Chapman.
Transfer students are guaranteed housing for their first year if they submit the housing application and pay the Housing Reservation Payment by the deadline.
Applying to live in Chapman housing
As an incoming transfer student, you may apply to live in Chapman housing. Living in one of these complexes is not a requirement.
If you do live on-campus, you will be placed in one of our Chapman-owned apartment complexes. See our continuing student housing video for a quick sneak peek at the locations and amenities offered:

Who you'll live with

Living off campus
As a transfer student, you may also choose to live in housing not affiliated with Chapman. In this case, we have resources to help. Check out our page on the Chapman Off-Campus Housing database to see local listings, communities we recommend and more to help you get started.
