All you wanted to know about residence living, but were afraid to ask is in our FAQ.

If you still have questions, please contact us:

Maintenance requests:

For current residents, we have implemented a new way to submit your maintenance requests. Log in to the Residence Portal to report any necessary repairs in your residence. Please note that once you have submitted a request, you have given permission for maintenance staff to enter to make the repair. Requests are reviewed and prioritized between 9 am and 4 pm Monday to Friday. It may take between one and three days to respond to your request, depending on the urgency of the repair and the volume of requests received.

Residence move out:

Whether you are vacating Residence mid-term or at the end of your contract, you must follow the proper check-out procedure as outlined below:

  1. Notify Residence Office of your move out date
  2. Complete and return Notice to Vacate document
  3. Pick up the Moving out of Residence and Check Out documents
  4. Clean your unit and remove all personal items. The best practice is to leave your unit in the same condition as it was when you moved in. Be sure to do a final check to make sure you have not left anything behind.
  5. Lock your bedroom and unit doors.
  6. Hand in your Check Out Form and key(s) to the Residence Office. This ensures you will not be charged for missing keys.
  7. Change your mailing address

If you have any non-perishable food items that you would like to donate, please take it to the Residence Office (do not leave it in your dorm)

Note: If you don't check out properly and turn in your keys, you will be charged $75 for improperly checking out and $20 for your unit/bedroom key, as well as any additional Residence fees and damage costs.

About moving out

A student who voluntarily breaks their Residence Contract without 4 weeks written notice to the Residence Office, or is terminated from the College, or is evicted from Residence will be charged rent up to the Friday of the week they leave and will forfeit all of their damage deposit.

A student who voluntarily breaks their Residence Contract with 4 weeks written notice to the Residence Office will forfeit $100 from their damage deposit.

You must vacate Residence and follow check out procedures 24 hours after your last exam or noon of the last day of your contract, whichever comes first. If you are flying home, you must ensure that your departure meets the move-out date for Residence as you will not be allowed to stay in Residence after the move-out date. You may apply at the Residence Office for a contract extension in extenuating circumstances.

Follow the steps listed above to ensure a smooth transition out of residence— and to avoid a $100 improper check-out fee.

The condition of both your room, and all common areas will determine your damage deposit refund as well as your acceptance into residence next year. Any common areas that are left in an unfit condition will result in the entire dorm being fined - regardless if you participated in the mess. Your marks and/or graduation status will be held back if you owe any residence fees due to deductions or fines.

Before your damage deposit is released, Residence Services will inspect your unit for damage and cleaning concerns. Notice of any charges will be sent to the email address on file.

General FAQ

Settling into residence requires you bring things to make the room your own and to add to your personal comfort. Here are needed and optional items.

You’ll need:
  • bedding—twin flat and fitted sheets, blankets, pillow
  • wash cloths, bath towels and bath mat
  • soap—for bathing, laundry, and dishes
  • toilet paper
  • cleaning supplies for bathroom
  • cooking equipment—pots/pans, toaster, dishes, cutlery
  • dish cloths and towels
  • desk lamp
  • padlock/combo lock
  • clothes hangers, wastepaper basket
  • laundry bag/hamper
  • posters—to decorate your room
  • recreation equipment—swim suit (your student fees get you into the pool), squash, badminton or racquetball racquet, ball glove, cards, board games

 

Optional items
  • steam iron—ironing boards provided in dorm laundry rooms
  • foamy—for your bed if you prefer a softer mattress
  • small fan is a good idea for fall and spring as rooms are not air-conditioned
  • electric power bar with surge protection for your computer

 

Note: No additional furniture is allowed in the residences without permission of the residence office. You are not allowed to disassemble college furniture or take it outside.

  • Illegal substances such as drugs.
  • Firearms of any type aren’t permitted in residence—and leave the ammunition at home, too. This includes paintball and pellet guns, bows/arrows, hunting knives and explosive/flammable devices.
  • Small cooking appliances, microwaves, and freezers are not permitted in your room. Microwaves and full size fridges are provided in the common kitchens. Small appliances can be used in the dorm kitchens, but there is limited room. 
    Note: mini-fridges are provided in the main dorm rooms on the Vermilion Campus.
  • Pets and fish are not allowed on residence grounds or in residence buildings. This includes stock dogs or projects from the small animal clinic, or riding your horse through the residence grounds.
  • Room heating devices such as small heaters. This is a safety precaution because of the fire potential. You can adjust the heat in your room.
  • Your horse—unless you’ve already made arrangements to board it.
  • Candles, incense, fireworks and sparklers. If you have to light it—then don’t bring it. And remember there’s no smoking anywhere inside residence buildings.
  • ATVs and other off-road vehicles such as snowmobiles aren’t allowed on the main campus.

Yes, bathrooms will be shared.

In Lloydminster, spinwheels have two levels with four bedrooms and a bathroom on each level. So 4 people share.

In Vermilion:
  • maximum number of people who share a bathroom is 4 in a double-double suite arrangement
  • dorm single rooms share with an adjoining double room (3 per bathroom)
  • 2 people share in a self-contained double
  • bathrooms are also shared in the dorm townhouses (4 people). The washing machine and dryer are also part of the bathroom.
  • in Delta, 2 people share a bathroom. There are 2 bathrooms in each unit, one on each floor.

While you can cook at residence in a communal cooking area, you might not always want to. If this is the case, you can drop in for a breakfast or lunch at the cafeteria.

Good news – parking fees are included in your res fees. Passes are for scramble parking anywhere in the specific residence lots.

Once you are accepted in your program, you will receive a link to our new online residence application. 

First you will need to "Update your Credentials" and log in using your new account information. Complete the online application and make your payment of $550 — $50 non-refundable application fee and $500 security deposit. This payment can be made through your online banking provider and details can be found on the last page of your application.

Family housing applicants only pay the application fee until they are assigned a house. Their security deposit of one month's rent is due at that time.

If you change your mind about living in residence, as long as you give us two weeks-notice before you move in, your complete deposit is returned to you.

You can choose what type of dorm environment you'd like to live in.

During the application process, you'll see alcohol free, social, and academic. Choose the right atmosphere for you.

The alcohol-free dorm doesn't permit alcohol anywhere inside the dorm. People may consume alcohol elsewhere and then return to the dorm.

In Vermilion, we have a mature dorm option. The mature dorm is intended for anyone who wants a slightly quieter and more study-focused environment. Generally, students in the mature dorm are 21 years old or older.

More good news. You don’t need quarters to do your laundry.

In the main Vermilion dorms, laundry facilities are in the basement. In the dorm townhouses, your washer and dryer are in the bathroom. In the Delta townhouse, laundry units are at the end of each building (yes, you do have to go outside).

In Lloydminster, washers and dryers located in the Prairies building.

You can think of your residence assistant (RA) as your activity director, mentor, confidante, team member, shoulder to cry on, counsellor, and dorm authority all wrapped up into one. RAs are there to help you settle into residence, have fun, and meet new people while making sure rules are being followed.
 
They can also assist you if you have locked yourself out of your dorm or bedroom. Make sure to add the RA on-call number to your cellphone when you arrive in Residence Village.

All of our Vermilion residence buildings are co-ed. Males and females live in the same building. In the dorms only the same gender share a bathroom.
