Selection & Placement
Residence Guarantees First year students coming directly out of an Ontario high school are guaranteed a space in residence for the next Fall if they apply by June 1. First year students coming from outside Ontario (within Canada or Internationally) are guaranteed a space in residence for the next Fall if they apply by May 1. First-year students should experience living in a traditional dorm-style residence with a roommate. It’s a great way to meet other students, socialize and study together. Plus you’ll enjoy the convenience of a meal plan. Dorm residence is our most affordable option and cleaning services are provided in the common areas and washrooms. Suite-style residence is a preferred choice for upper-year students who may like to share amenities and cook and clean for themselves. |
Offer Acceptance and Confirmation Residence offers will be sent out via email starting May where students will be given the following details:
If you do not respond to your residence offer by the deadline indicated, your offer will expire and your application will be cancelled. You may contact Housing and request to reactivate your application and be placed on a waiting list. Information about moving in to residence will be available on Residence Move-in Information page and will be updated as it gets closer to move-in day. A Move-in Package email will be sent to residents who accepted a space prior to arrival. Upon move-in, students may not change their building or room assignment without permission from Housing & Conference Services through a transfer request. The Transfer Request Form goes online every October. If experiencing roommate conflicts or other challenges, residents must first contact their Don or Residence Life Coordinator. Transfer will not be granted unless they are mediated by Residence Life & Housing & Conference Services, and pending room availability. If you receive written approval to transfer to another residence/room, you will be charged a transfer fee and you will be responsible for covering any additional room upgrade costs, if applicable. |
Waitlisted Applicants Housing Services will endeavour to update students on wait list status from time to time. However, it is the student’s responsibility to follow up regarding this by emailing undergradres@yorku.ca. |
