Residence application for 1st year Arts & Science students

This information is for prospective and incoming first-year undergraduate students in the Faculty of Arts & Science.

The StarRez Portal is the tool you will use to apply for on-campus residence.

Residence is guaranteed for all new full-time students entering their first year of a postsecondary program for the first time, provided that they have indicated their interest in residence by completing the StarRez Portal application by March 31, and receive and accept an offer of admission by June 1.

Step 1

Explore your residence options:

• Innis College
• New College
• St. Michael’s College
• Loretto College (part of St. Michael’s College)
• Trinity College
• University College
• Victoria College
• Woodsworth College
• Chestnut Residence

Most students who join the Faculty of Arts & Science will be placed in a residence affiliated with their college. However, some Faculty of Arts & Science students may be placed in another residence, such as Chestnut Residence.

Step 3

Log in to the StarRez Portal to confirm your interest in residence by submitting the first-year residence application by March 31. You will be asked to list your residence preferences.
