SIR and Initial housing deposit?

I have two questions-

  1. Was there an SIR that I have to submit and pay for, or is that basically included in the initial housing deposit?
  2. Is the initial housing deposit refundable?

@aschwarz22, the SIR is basically clicking on the Accept button in your portal. There is no deposit that goes with that. Yes, the housing deposit is refundable up until a certain date. This is from the FAQ on the Housing webpage:

“Can I get a refund if I change my mind about attending Cal Poly?
Students must cancel the housing contract in writing 30 days prior to their move-in date to receive a full refund. Refer to the Housing Calendar for the cancelation dates. The Cancel Form must be faxed or postmarked by the last date to cancel. Daily charges apply if the cancelation is received after the date noted on the Housing Calendar.”
