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. 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

 

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 will be placed on a waitlist on a first-come, first-serve basis.

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.

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.

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.
