If you want to live in the coop , the first thing to do is to apply. The application process is composed of 3 steps: application , admission and payment.

Application
How do I apply?
Just fill out an application and attach it with the minimum payments i.e. US$35.00 application fee. The application fee may be paid by cash, money order, or bank draft which needs to be included with the application. You may also write the number of your credit card (Visa or Master card only) at the back of your application, along with the expiry date and the amount you want debited. Also be sure to indicate if you want your application processed "express" (add $20). Please note we do not accept American Express or personal checks. You can send the application through:
Fax
(310) 824-0112
500 Landfair Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90024
USA
How late can I apply?
The UCHA has no application deadlines and admission is on a rolling basis (i.e. vacancies filled on a first-come, first-served basis), but priority is given to UCLA students. All applicants are advised to apply early at least 2 months before the quarter you want admission for, especially if you are seeking Fall admission. Usually an application will take 2-4 weeks for processing (depending on the time of year). However, you could ask for an application to be processed "express" which will be done within three business days. The express fee is $20.00 and is in addition to the $35.00 application fee.
Can I apply for space on arrival?
No, and we strongly advice you against doing that. Spaces are competitive and you need to get official confirmation in writing prior to arriving.
Admission
How are students admitted to the UCHA (Co-op)?
Admission is generally on a rolling basis, but priority is given to UCLA students. Prospective residents are required to turn in the application with the $35 fee. If approved, UCHA (the office of the Executive Director) will contact (write or e-mail) the applicant informing of his/her admission and requiring confirmation from the applicant by payment of the reservation fee. This fee, while non-refundable, will be credited towards the first rent payment of the quarter and will need to be paid by the due date as specified by UCHA. On receipt of the reservation fee, UCHA will inform applicant of his/her reservation, and specify the official check-in date. On the date of check-in, the newly admitted member is required to make payment of the deposit, membership fee, and any early check-in charges (if any) as well.
What guarantees me a spot?
A place can only be considered guaranteed, on payment of the reservation fee and on receipt of official confirmation from the UCHA (in writing) stating that we have reserved a place for you. Please note, however, that you may pay the reservation fee only after receiving admission from UCHA and being requested to do so.
Payments
What payments do I need to make to complete the admissions process?
Prior to check-in, you should have made the following payments: Application fee (US$35.00-Non-Refundable), reservation (rent) fee ($500.00 Non-refundable).
