Housing paperwork if you're going to commute?

<p>Maybe someone who's commuted as a freshman could tell me ...</p>

<p>I'm planning to commute as a first-time freshman at CSULB beginning in the fall. I gather this is allowed if you live at home with your parents, which I'll be doing. But I think I saw something that said you need to file a housing application even if you're going to commute. Also think I saw something about May 1 being the deadline for the housing app.</p>

<p>Is that all true? This is something I need to get done by next Wednesday? Do I just fill out the form online, say I'll be living with parents and commuting, and I'm done?</p>
