The centre focuses on three areas of support: first-year off-campus support, mature and transfer student support, and off-campus living and community relations.
The Laurier Off-Campus University Students (LOCUS) program at our Waterloo and Brantford campuses work specifically to support our first-year, off-campus community with events, mentors and opportunities to get involved.
If you are returning to school as a mature student or transferring to Laurier from another school, the centre is here to help support your transition and to connect you to other mature and transfer students. Explore the Student Experience page to learn more about events and programming to help you get to know Laurier.
Off-Campus Housing is a new program that helps you be an active, engaged and contributing member to the cities of Brantford and Waterloo. The program educates you on responsibilities you may have while living off campus, such as searching for housing, understanding by-laws, being a good neighbour, managing bills, and more.
Laurier has partnered with Places4Students.com, an off-campus housing website that specializes in providing students, schools and landlords with a quality rental property listing service. View available rental property listings, roommate and sublet listings.
