On-Campus Living
Your future begins here — choose to
live at University Courtyard, Fresno
State’s on-campus living area. Resi-dents
have the opportunity to become
part of a community of students who
share experiences and support each
other in achieving academic success.
Accommodations
The remodeled air conditioned/heated
rooms include an extra long twin bed
over an 80” x 36” desk, three-drawer
dresser, two-drawer file cabinet, book
carrel with task light, two-position
chair, and closet with storage space
above for each resident. A meal plan,
computer lab (free Internet and e-mail
service), basic cable service, utilities,
fitness center, swimming pool, laundry
facility, recreation facilities, and com-munity
custodial services are included.
Residence Hall Living
The convenience of on-campus living
makes it easy to go to and from class,
use the campus library, and attend
dances, plays, lectures, sporting events,
and concerts during evenings and
weekends.
The halls offer interesting programs
designed to add an exciting dimen-sion
to on-campus living. Social
activities include karaoke, bowling,
special dinners, barbecues, and movies.
Educational programs include alcohol
awareness, appreciation of differences,
and personal safety.
Individual Halls
The housing complex consists of nine
residence halls, the Atrium Building,
and the Residence Dining Facility.
Three halls are community style.
Six halls are shared one-, two-, or
three-bedroom residence suites with a
furnished living room and bathroom.
Quiet living areas are available. All
halls house men on one wing or suite
and women on another. Bathrooms
are gender designated. Up to 1,100
students can live on campus. The ma-jority
of the rooms are shared by two
students. A limited number of single
rooms are available first to returning
residents, then to new students. Triple
beds are available on a first-come, first-served
basis.
Staff
Trained professionals are available to
help make your stay in the residence
halls enjoyable. They develop social,
cultural, educational, and recreational
activities and opportunities.
Augmenting the staff are the residence
life coordinators, resident directors,
assistant resident directors, resident
advisers, and public safety assistants.
Serving as student leaders on each
floor, residence life staff receive train-ing
in paraprofessional helping skills
and crisis intervention. They under-stand
university structure; they can
assist students with academic-related
issues, emergencies, and personal
concerns.
How to Apply
The housing application process is
separate from the university admissions
process.
Applications are available in January

request an On-Campus Living Ap-plication
packet as soon as you apply
to the university. You are urged to
return your completed application by
