How do I use online room selection?
You will be given a time slot to go in and select your room. Priority time slots are given first to returning students who applied during the reapplication period in February. Students who apply after will be given a time slot a month later. Applications received after the 1st of that month will be processed after all current students have selected their rooms.
During your assigned time slot, you must select a room. If you do not select a room you will be assigned a room by Student Residences.
Advance time slots are given to students who rank high on the annual points list (See: How do I select a room) and scholarship students. These students are granted a ‘pre-selection’ option whereby they are able to choose from available rooms before the majority of other resident applicants.
Pulling-in allows two-to-four residents who want to live together to use the earliest time slot of the group to select their rooms. The resident with the earliest time slot pulls-in his or her roommate(s) during their time slot. To be pulled-in, all requested roommates must have applied for residence, received a time slot, and have been accepted as roommates in the “Roommate Preferences” step of the application. If one of your requested roommate(s) did not receive a time slot, they will not be able to be pulled-in. You can only pull-in residents with the same student classification and who have applied for the same term.
Can I change my room?
If you wish to change your building or community before move-in day you will be granted a time slot to do so on the Student Residence Portal.
If you wish to change your room, building or community after you have moved in, please speak with a member of the Residence Life team. If they recommend a change, they will submit the recommendation to Student Residences. Student Residences will review the request and make the final decision to approve or deny the room change request.
Are there gender-inclusive accommodations?
Gender-inclusive accommodations are available in our Burton’s Pond apartments. All residence buildings are mixed gender. 
Gender-inclusive washrooms are also located on the second floor of all buildings within Paton College. There are also gender-inclusive washrooms on level 2 of the Main Dining Hall.
Are pets allowed?
No, pets are not allowed in student residences spaces.  If students require the use of a service animal or emotional support animal as a disability-related accommodation, they should contact Accessibility Services (Blundon Centre). All requests for service or emotional supports animals will require supporting documentation from a medical or allied healthcare provider. Contact Accessibility Services for more information and guidance.
