What happens if I apply for single, but am accepted to a shared accommodation?
If you have been accepted into a shared open concept room and applied for a single open concept room you will automatically be placed on a wait list for a single open concept room. Should a single accommodation become available and you are on the waitlist, you will be contacted.

What is included in the acceptance package?
In the acceptance package you will receive a lot of paperwork, including a Welcome Letter and the Student Information Form. These two documents will provide you with all of the critical information you will need to know about the next stages of the acceptance process. The Welcome Letter provides some brief details for you to keep as a reference; however, we need you to fully complete the Student Information Form and return it to the residence as soon as possible. It asks for important information related to contact information, payment information, health information, emergency contact information, and a personality profile questionnaire to help us match you with a roommate. Also included in the acceptance package will be a copy of your Student Residence Agreement (SRA), which is a legal document that serves as the contract between you and the residence. Please ensure you read it over carefully, complete the final page, sign it, and return it to the residence with your Student Information Form.
