CCA's on-campus housing (which received an award for its design in 2003 from the American Institute of Architects, San Francisco [AIA SF]) is a safe, secure, and comfortable residential community that supports and complements the college's academic offerings. Applicants seeking housing should apply by the March 21 deadline. Applicants who reside in communities with access to public transportation to the college, or those who have previously been housed in CCA's Pre-College program, receive secondary consideration for housing.
The residence halls can accommodate a maximum of 160 Pre-College students. Residents live in shared rooms, each fully furnished with beds, desks, dressers, a mini refrigerator, and a microwave. All residents have access to community kitchens, lounge areas, and laundry facilities. Students must provide their own linens and kitchen items.
The cost of living in the residence halls is $795. An additional $150 refundable damage deposit is charged to all residents. Damage deposit refunds are issued four to six weeks after the program ends, less any cleaning or damage charges that have been incurred.
Residential Life: Living in campus housing can be a great learning experience and a lot of fun. CCA housing is staffed and supervised by area coordinators, resident advisors, and a graduate intern. Area coordinators are professional staff members who oversee all aspects of residential life. Resident advisors are currently enrolled CCA students who are trained in community building, problem solving, and emergency procedures.
A nightly curfew of 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and midnight Friday and Saturday, is strictly enforced. Residential students are not allowed to bring vehicles.
