Important dates
NOV. 1: Residence application opens
Once you've been accepted to Mount Allison, you can apply to live in residence in our Residence Portal.
All first-year students are guaranteed a room assignment.
Residence room assignment
We base your residence room assignment priority on the day you pay your registration deposit so the earlier you pay this deposit the closer you are to the top of the list for placement.
MARCH 1: Early-bird room draw
To be included in our first round of room assignments, submit the following by March 1:
- Registration deposit
- Residence application
- Residence deposit
All residence applications submitted by the end of March will be included in our second round of room assignments.
After our second round of room assignments, rooms are assigned on a rolling basis.
May 1: Deadline to pay deposits
Residence accommodations are guaranteed if both your registration and residence deposits are received by May 1.
Choose your residence and room type
We want to make sure you get to live in the residence and room type that is the perfect fit for you.
For the best chance to get the residence you want:
1. Pay your registration deposit
Accept your offer of admission and scholarship by paying your registration deposit:
- $100 for Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada
- $450 for international students
We base early bird residence room assignment priority on the date you pay your registration deposit so the earlier you pay this deposit the closer you are to the top of the list for placement.
The registration deposit is due no later than May 1.
2. Pay your residence deposit
Pay your $500 residence deposit to receive your room assignment.
The residence deposit is due no later than May 1.
Early residence room assignments will be offered to students who pay both their registration and residence deposits BY MARCH 1.
Students who complete the steps required for a room assignment after the early bird assignment deadline can expect room assignments on a rolling basis once their application is submitted and they have paid their registration and residence deposits.
Students entering in January
Your room assignment will be assigned to you on a rolling basis once we have received your $100 registration deposit, $250 residence deposit, residence application and $50 residence application fee. The residence deposit is fully refundable until Nov. 20.
