Santa Clara University

At SCU, there are many people interested in you as an individual as well as in the community you will live in. The RLC Leadership Teams along with the Housing Team include professional and paraprofessional staff and faculty who want to enhance your university experience. Their goal is to provide a living/learning environment that encourages academic achievement and student development.

The Housing Office works in collaboration with the Office of Residence Life to provide a model living-learning environment for our residents. The office is responsible for budget policy and analysis, contracts, room assignments, maintenance and facilities, and construction and renovations.

Mission Statement 

The Housing Office at Santa Clara University is an integral part of the total University education experience.  In collaboration with Residence Life, the Housing team is committed to challenging students while providing appropriate support to assist them in their continual growth and development.  We maintain and provide interactive environments where students have the opportunity to develop competence, conscience, and compassion.  The Housing Office is dedicated to the education of the whole person in the Jesuit tradition.  We are committed to updating and continually improving the evolving needs of residential communities.  We sustain environments that encourage students to pursue development of their life goals, interpersonal relationships, and integrity in connection to their academic pursuits.

We are dedicated to providing:
