Overview

Residence rates and application

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 applying for residence, a non-refundable $100 application fee is required.
  • Administration (Deferral) fees are non-refundable and apply only to installment options where noted.
  • Payments must be made by the listed due dates to keep residence accounts in good standing.
  • Students using third-party funding, including OSAP, RESP, ODSP, or sponsorships, are encouraged to select installment options for greater flexibility. PDF documentation must be submitted to the Residence Financial Manager: Shantal Simpson – ssimpson@cambrianresidence.ca

Application and acceptance process

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. You do not have to be accepted to Cambrian at the time of your application; you must only have applied and have a student number. Any applications received after April 15 may be placed on a waitlist on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Acceptances

Residence offers are sent on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability. Acceptance emails are issued on a rolling basis beginning in April and include instructions for completing your acceptance online.

As part of the acceptance process, students must submit all required information, including contact details, health information, complete the application fee and invoice payment, emergency contacts, and a brief personality profile to support roommate matching. Failure to complete any portion of the application may delay or result in the cancellation of the residence offer.

Room assignments are also made on a first-come, first-served basis. While students may indicate room preferences, specific room types or locations are not guaranteed. If a preferred room type becomes full, students will be placed in the next available room option.

Students must review and accept the Student Residence Agreement, which is a legal contract between the student and the residence. Please read this document carefully and keep a copy for your records.

It is strongly recommended that parents or guardians be listed as primary and secondary contacts. These contacts may be reached in emergencies or if significant concerns arise. Once submitted, the residence will notify the listed contacts by email and provide them with the option to opt out of this role.

Roommate selection

All accepted students must complete a roommate profile during the online acceptance process. Students may browse and request roommates through the housing portal or be matched by Residence staff based on their profile responses.

Mutual roommate requests are accommodated where possible once both students are accepted, with placement in the same suite or townhouse when available. Roommate selection for the academic year opens in early July, and roommate confirmations are emailed in early August.

For Winter and Summer semesters, roommate requests are based on availability and must be submitted by contacting Residence management. Requests are not guaranteed.

Room numbers are not provided in advance and will be shared upon arrival to ensure accuracy.

Termination and cancellation

To cancel your residence application, you must submit a cancellation or withdrawal request form. Cancellations are not accepted by phone and must be submitted in writing via email, fax, or mail. If you are cancelling prior to arrival, please use the cancellation option in the housing portal.

Please refer to the Student Housing Agreement (SHA) for details regarding cancellation timelines, refunds, and related terms.
