Highlights & Accomplishments

Increase in Freshman = Increase in Occupancy

This year we had over 98% occupancy for residence halls and over 97% occupancy in apartments in 2011-12, due in part to an unexpected increase in freshmen acceptances in the fall semester.

Maximo Martinez Commons to Open in Fall 2012

UC’s newest housing facility currently under construction in the Anna Head parking area will be named in honor of Maximino “Max” Martinez, a long time student affairs employee who passed away suddenly while playing lunchtime basketball at the Recreational Sports Facility in 2003. Martinez Commons will provide housing to 416 continuing students with priority on sophomore student housing.
