Residence Application Procedures for Graduate Students

A limited number of residence beds are reserved for single graduate students in the apartment-style residences. All residence space reserved for graduate students is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, and therefore you are advised to apply at your earliest opportunity, once you have been accepted into your program.

Online Graduate student residence applications will be available from the Residential Services website in March. A $400 residence deposit must accompany the application. This deposit will be refunded only in the event that the applicant cannot be accommodated, or if the Residence Office receives written notification by 11:59 p.m. on Monday June 3, 2013 that the applicant wishes to cancel their application.

Applications for graduate spaces begin to arrive in April and May, and the limited number of residence spaces are usually filled by early June. Any additional applications received are placed on a "waiting list".

Similar to all undergraduate students, building and room assignments for graduate students are completed in June and notification is sent from WLU in the latter part of July 2013.

Graduate students may move into residence any time during the week after Labour Day, Monday September 2, 2013. Under no circumstances may graduate students move in earlier than this date.
