Residence Services

Director: Randy Maus

Residence at the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà is designed to help students connect to one another in a community where people matter. It provides easier access to campus resources and opportunities, and support for students academically as they work toward their degree. Residence is open to all full-time students, and we have accommodations that meet a variety of needs from first year to graduate to students with families.  To apply or find out more about the residence experience, facilities and services, please explore our website .

Single Student Housing

Single student housing is located on the southwest corner of the University Campus, consists of nine buildings (with an additional residence opening in the Fall 2011) and offers a variety of accommodation styles.

Rundle and Kananaskis Halls are newly renovated traditional style residences accommodating approximately 720 students in double and single rooms (Please note there are a limited number of single rooms available). Housing consists of single-gender and co-ed wings or floors to best meet the needs of individual students. Laundry facilities, recreational lounges and academic lounges are all available for student use. Meal plans are required for students living in these buildings. More information on meal plans can be found at .

Cascade Hall, Norquay Hall, Brewster Hall and Olympus Hall accommodate new and returning undergraduate students in furnished, studio, one bedroom (single occupancy), two bedroom and four bedroom apartments.

Glacier Hall and Castle Hall are designated as graduate student apartment style buildings with the same services as our undergraduate buildings.

Two living learning communities are also available. Global Village houses 125 students (50% international, 50% Canadian) in suite style rooms and is focused on multicultural, global, and local awareness as well as leadership in a multicultural community. The Scholars’ Advantage floor is focused on academic success and excellence and available to students accepted under the SUCCESS Program.

Each building has a highly trained staff of Community Advisors and Residence Life Coordinators that is available 24 hours a day to assist students with the challenges faced in university. They are specifically trained in responding to personal crisis, directing students to appropriate university resources, academic learning strategies, and community building. In addition, each building also has its own academic lounge and recreational lounge.
Students who have specific accessibility, mobility or medical needs are asked to indicate these needs on their application. Residence Services will work with students to meet their specific needs where possible.

Students must apply online at .  First-Year Undergraduate Students are guaranteed a space in residence if their application is received prior to April 30 of each year. All other new students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, as demand for residence is high, and student housing assignments are completed on a first-come, first-served basis. Returning students are assigned based on a lottery system, with applications due by February 15th. Applications are available each year in November for first year students and December for all other students.
