In light of recent concerns regarding campus housing, Clark Atlanta University (CAU) makes the following statement:
Clark Atlanta University requires and provides housing for all freshmen and sophomores to live on campus subject to a specific exemption process. We have housing for all freshmen and sophomores who are financially enrolled.
In addition, we have housing for upperclassmen. Upperclassmen were asked to follow a two-step process: 1) to reserve housing with a deposit and 2) complete the financial enrollment process by August 1, 2018.
Communication went to all students beginning in May 2018 about the process and timelines, and the dates were extended several times.
Those who have not completed the financial enrollment process are being offered temporary housing while they complete the process.
The Office of Student Services and Campus Life is working diligently with students to complete their financial enrollment process. The office opens at 9:00am and closes at 5:00pm; all students signed in by 5:00pm will receive service

CAU requires and provides on-campus housing for freshmen and sophomores — exceptions withstanding — and has housing available for upperclassmen.
The Office of Student Services and Campus Life, open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., is “working diligently with students to complete their financial enrollment process,” the statement said.
The situation is reminiscent to one Georgia State University experienced last fall, when about 400 students had to be temporarily housed at Sheraton Atlanta after an increase in the number of housing applicants.
