Residence applications, rates and more!

It’s time to begin your journey as a Cambrian resident! Applications are available based on your housing and academic commitment needs. There are four different terms to choose from and multiple payment plan options, giving you plenty of residence options.

Please note: when you apply for residence, you are required to pay a non-refundable $100 application fee.

Apply for residence by filling out the online application through our residence housing portal. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until the residence is full.

Cheque Memo: First and last name

Acceptance emails will be sent out on a first-come, first-serve basis and are dependent upon availability. Acceptance emails will begin to be sent out after mid-April each year. In the acceptance email, you will receive instructions on how to complete the rest of your acceptance details.

The acceptance details will need to be completed online and you are asked to provide important information related to contact and health information, payment information, emergency contact information, and personality profile questions that will help you select a roommate.

You will also be asked to review and accept the Student Residence Agreement, which is a legal document that serves as the contract between you and the residence. Please ensure that you read it carefully and keep a copy for your records.

It is strongly recommended that the primary and secondary contacts are your parents or guardians. The primary or secondary contact will serve as an emergency contact and may also be contacted if any other significant concerns or problems arise.

Once the Residence is provided with this contact information, the manager will notify the primary and secondary contacts, via the supplied email, that they have been identified as the primary and secondary contacts for the resident. This email will outline the role and responsibility of the primary and secondary contacts and provide them with the opportunity to opt out of this role.

Everyone who is accepted into Residence must fill in profile questions, which are available when completing the acceptance process online. Students are then allowed to browse roommates online, send messages to potential roommates, and accept roommates.

If you do not want to select your own roommate, the Residence will select a roommate for you based on your answers to the profile questions. You may request to live with your friends while in Residence; as long as you have both been accepted and you both request to live with each other. We will then place you in the same suite or townhouse. Roommate selection for the academic year will open on the housing portal at the beginning of July.

At the beginning of August, we will email out a confirmation of roommate notice which will include the name and contact information of your roommate. If you have not already done so, you can contact your roommate and get to know them better. Roommate agreements will be given out at the beginning of the semester to outline your roommate preferences with each other.

Roommate requests for the Winter and Summer semesters are based on room availability. You may make a roommate request by contacting a member of the Residence management team.

This does not guarantee you will be placed with your requested roommate. Before moving in, we will email out a confirmation of roommate notice, which will include the name and contact information of your roommate. If you have not already done so, you can contact your roommate and get to know them better.

We do not give out your room number before your arrival. The reason for this is that changes to our room registry may occur before you arrive and we want to ensure we provide you with the correct information about your room. The room number will be provided to you upon arrival.
