* IMPORTANT NOTICE *
The COVID 19 pandemic emergency has required Student Housing Services to modify the University of Guelph Residence system to align with legislative amendments, controls, orders and by-laws from different levels of government and public bodies, requests of the public, and requirements of the University. The purpose of these modifications is to support the safety and health of students residing in densely populated settings such as university residences. It is anticipated that it may be necessary to assign most students to single rooms throughout the residence system. Students who wish to be considered for a double room can apply if the requesting students are siblings, relatives, or close friends who wish to live together and will be enrolled in the same academic programme of study. Room assignments will be made at the sole discretion of Student Housing.
New applicants who have received an offer of admission and will be attending the University of Guelph for the first time this fall must submit a completed application and the required deposit of $750 to be considered for space in residence for the Fall 2020 semester. Priority will be given to new applicants who will be enrolled as fulltime students. Completed applications (application & deposit) must be submitted to Student Housing Services no later than 11:59 EDT on June 1, 2020. Applications and deposits received after this date will be assigned Residence rooms as available or placed on a waiting list.
