Single Student Apartment Fees
Single Student Apartment fees pay for the room and access to shared spaces within the apartment for the duration of the contract. The fees also pay for the meal plan if a student elects to have a meal plan. In addition, the fees cover most of the Student Housing services offered to Single Student Apartment residents, including access to computer centers and academic advising centers located in the Student Housing areas on campus. The cost for each apartment area is the same; the only factor that affects fee rates is the optional dining plan. See the Rates section below for detailed fee information for the various meal plan options.

Late Payments
Fees must be paid on or before their respective deadlines. Payments submitted after the deadline will be considered delinquent, and a $75 late fee will be applied to the account for each occurrence. Payments must be received before the deadline passes; postmarks are not used to determine the date of payment. Students may request an alternate payment schedule; see the Deferred Payments section below. Students who are unable to pay their housing fees by the deadline should contact Student Housing's Residential Student Accounts office (530-752-2481) before the payment deadline passes in order to establish a payment plan and to avoid a late fee.
Billing and Invoices
Payments are due in accordance with the Fee Schedule without demand or billing. Student Housing does not issue a bill or invoice for Student Housing fees.
Online Statements
Electronic statements generated from the UC Davis Student Accounting Office include housing charges. Students may log into their UC Davis account to view their current account balance, current charges, and any refunds.
NOTE: only UC Davis students have the right to access their accounts, but students may elect to give parents, guardians and/or others access to their accounts in order to make payments
Making Fee Payments
See Submit Your Fees under Current Students for information regarding the submission of student housing fees.
Deferred Payment Schedule
Students may elect to use a deferred payment schedule, breaking up quarterly payments into two or three smaller payments, which are due at various times during the quarter. There is no additional charge for making deferred payments. All students are eligible to elect a deferred payment schedule.
Additional Fees
Occasions may arise during the year where fees are incurred that are in addition to the scheduled fees; three examples are:
- Additions or upgrades to a meal plan
- Participation in voluntary residence hall social functions
- Charges for non-covered events, including replacing lost keys and door locks, and repairing building or landscape damage caused by negligence
Additional fees must be paid in accordance to direction given by Student Housing at the time the charges are disclosed.
Refunds Following Cancellation of a Housing Contract
Following the cancellation of a student’s housing contract, a credit for the remaining (prorated) fees will be posted to the student’s UC Davis account. For students who elected to have a meal plan, at the time of the cancellation date, the amount of meals used will be compared to the prorated amount of meals that should have been used; if the actual amount of meals used exceeds the prorated amount of meals, the difference will be calculated at a rate of $2.25 per meal and will be charged against the refund amount before the credit is issued. If the actual amount of meals used does not exceed the prorated rate of meals, a meal refund request may be submitted to University Dining Services, located at The Junction in the Segundo Services Building. Approved credits will be refunded to the student at a rate of $2.25 per meal.
