Rooms are assigned through a lottery based on preferences indicated on your residence application, and room availability. We do everything we can to ensure that students sharing rooms are compatible – that’s why the application form asks about your personal habits and preferences.

If you have questions about the room assignment process, contact us at housing@wlu.ca before submitting your residence application.

If you'd like to share a room with a friend, we'll try to accommodate your request. 

When filling out your residence applications, form a roommate group with your friend and be sure that you follow all the roommate group rules outlined in the application.

Your residence contract is for the eight-month academic year, meaning you're required to stay in residence from September 2023 to April 2024, as outlined in the Residence Agreement.

Only first-year students eligible for the guarantee will be accommodated in residence, and any waiting lists will be available to first-year students only.

At the Brantford campus, it is uncertain as to whether residence will be full managing the residence guarantee for first-year students. Senior, transfer and graduate students may contact the Residence Office after June 1 to see if any rooms are available.

You will be placed into first-year undergraduate residences. Students are matched with other upper-year roommates, if possible.

Students are integrated into the same residence life programs and contribute to those communities.
