Summer Residence

Summer 2023 residence admissions are now closed and we are no longer accepting applications. Should you be in need of housing, we encourage you to view the listings and resources on the University of Toronto's Off-Campus Housing website.

 

Summer residence is available from May to August. Stay for the full session or for a shorter-term of at least 4 weeks. 

Summer residents enjoy the convenience of living a short walk from classes and other amenities during the beautiful summer months on campus. Residence life activities provide opportunities for residents to engage with their peers and help them feel at home in a safe, fun, and inclusive community.
 
Students living in summer residence will be placed in single bedrooms in either the Joan Foley Hall apartments or townhouses. Suites are shared with four to six students.
 

Eligibility

  • Individual Upper Year and Graduate student University of Toronto students enrolled in a full-time degree program.
  • For the Summer session only, there is no minimum course load requirement. However, students must be in good standing with the University and cannot be on academic suspension.
  • Previous residents must have demonstrated good conduct in residence to be readmitted, and all residence fees from the previous session must be paid.
  • Students from a visiting post-secondary institution enrolled in a full-time degree program that are studying, completing research, or working on a co-op term in Scarborough.
  • Students enrolled in the Academic English program

Transition Period for Current Winter 2023 residents

Students living in residence for the Winter 2023 session are eligible to request to stay for the transition period between the Winter and Summer sessions from April 28 to May 7 for an additional cost of $500. Only students registered for both sessions are eligible, and their Summer session must have a move in date of May 7. The request form becomes available within the StarRez Portal Summer application after your offer is emailed to you and your summer deposit has been paid. 

Students who do not stay for the Transition Period between sessions must move out of their Winter residence space 24 hours after their last exam or by April 28 at 12pm, whichever comes first. They must take all their belongings with them,

Storage between sessions is not available.

Deadline to apply in StarRez: March 31
