<p>My d got accepted in crp but hasn’t heard from all schools yet. On-campus Housing opens Tuesday and apparently fills up fast. What happens if you accept the offer of admission and later change your mind? Is there a binding agreement for regular admission? thanks!</p>
<p>My son was in the same situation last year and I asked his HS counselor about it. She said for regular (NOT early) decision it was ok (i.e. not unethical) to go ahead and accept, then change your mind later after you got all your decisions. We signed up for housing (and paid the hefty first installment) before my son had all his decisions because we were worried about housing filling up, but somewhere it says you get almost a full refund if you decide to go somewhere else. There is a refund request form you have to fill out. We didn't have to do it, though, because he decided to go to Cal Poly anyway, and is there now and loving it.</p>
<p>When I called housing and admissions they claim that because Poly Canyon will be completely open this year that all freshman will get on-campus housing. They said last year they had enough space for all freshman as well. That being said, I am also feeling the same as iris4. If my son sends SIR in now to Poly don't other schools in CA know about it and consider you not still in their applicant pool?</p>
<p>Thank you tlam and slodad. I spent hours yesterday looking for exactly the answers you gave me and couldn't find them anywhere. It helps to know we're all in this together doing our best to help our kids. After more research, my d decided Cal Poly was her first choice, so went ahead and accepted. Watch - tomorrow she'll get some great offer from another school. slodad-I hope the system isn't set up to give out acceptance info to other CA schools. Seems like that would be confidential...It helps to know there is presumably? plenty of housing to go around. tlam - I'm glad your son is happy there.</p>
<p>According to the housing site it says that if you decide not to go to Cal Poly you will get the entire deposit back minus $5 so long as you do it 30 days before move in. In the past (at least 3 years ago) you could just sign up for housing without accepting admission. I don't know why Cal Poly has to be different than other schools in the system.</p>
<p>SDSU is the same way as Cal Poly. You have to accpet admission before you can sign up for housing and housing is first come first serve based on acceptance date unless it has changed from 2 years ago when my daughter started at SDSU.</p>
<p>I don't think incoming freshman can apply for Poly Canyon. I know that they can't apply to Cerro Vista. It's intended for continuing freshman, so I don't believe it will help alleviate the issues with lack of incoming freshman housing. </p>
<p>I wouldn't believe what housing said to you, either... based on the fact that one of my current roommates was a freshman then, and he most definitely did not get a spot :P He waited a week after you could apply for housing to sign-up, and everything (including off-campus freshman housing) was filled up. Making all of the rooms into triples helped, I guess, but they're just letting too many kids in.</p>
<p>cerro vista is for freshman now, since poly canyon is open for non-freshmen. and with poly canyon offer 2k+ rooms, they will have much more room now. </p>
<p>get your facts right before you post them to people.</p>
<p>ps. they are letting in way too many kids, but it has been mandated by the CSU people, and there isn't much cal poly itself can do to cut how many people they let in...suppoedly they are cutting back, but...bs?</p>
