Towels are also available outside the bathrooms.  Each occupant is issued two keys:  one to the door of F8 and one to the dorm room.  Free parking is available on campus.

Fees:  $35.00 refundable key deposit and a nominal daily charge.  Both are payable on the first day of occupancy to the cashier.  The Cashier’s Office will accept cash or personal check, ONLY.

Procedure to Utilize Housing

• UCLA-approved visiting 4th Year Medical student should contact the office of Graduate Medical Education via e-mail to request housing at gmeek@dhs.lacounty.gov.    He/she will need to provide dates of clerkship.
• If housing is available, confirmation will be returned via e-mail and the student will be advised of the possibility of room-sharing.
• The room will be available for occupancy on the first morning of the approved clerkship. Students must first report to the sponsoring Department/Division to obtain his/her UCLA ID badge. Occupancy will not be granted unless the UCLA ID badge is in the student’s possession.  Harbor IDs will be issued to students performing as Sub-Interns (course number 300 or higher) for the single daily meal privilege.
• The student will be directed to the Cashier’s office to pay the $35.00 key deposit (and daily charge, if applicable).
• The student(s) will return to 8E8 with the paid receipt issued by the cashier’s office.
• Keys will be issued to the occupants of the dorm rooms.
• On the last day of the rotation the student will remove his/her belongings from the room and return the keys to 8E8 during office hours.
• The student’s paid receipt will be returned so that the student can return to the cashier’s office and make arrangements for the key deposit refund.

The Office of Graduate Medical Education may extend use of the dorm rooms to incoming Interns or Residents for short periods immediately following the first day of employment while the new employee obtains permanent housing.  This is on a case-by-case basis and will be determined by the Director or Administrative Director.
