Housing Rates

Housing rates are subject to approval by the CSU Board of Trustees. Housing rates on the following pages are outlined based on the CSU Guarantee Cohorts which represent when first year degree-seeking undergraduates and eligible transfer students started at Cleveland State University.

Housing Contract Terms

10/12 Month Options

New for Fall 2024: All students have the option to choose a 10 or 12 month contract. The default contract will be 10 months (August-May), but students can now opt into a 12 month contract, that will also cover summer (August-July). Summer housing will be an additional $2000 for Summer 2025. Students who opt into a 12-month contract, will be billed $1,000 in the Fall 2024 semester and another $1,000 in the Spring 2025 semester, allowing financial aid, grants, or scholarships to assist with funding, if eligible. 

Break Periods

The Euclid Commons closes during break periods. Students are permitted to stay in the communities during Thanksgiving Recess and Spring Break periods as long as they register when break registration opens. However, Euclid Commons residential community is closed during the Winter Break period (between the end of Fall semester and the start of the Spring semester). Students who wish to stay during Winter Break will pay an additional charge to reflect the Winter Break period as outlined in the rates below. Students residing in The Edge and The Langston residential communities do not have to leave during the Winter Break period as long as they register when break registration opens for no additional charge.
