Applications to live in residence for the 2016-17 Academic Year are now being accepted.

Please note the following KEY DATES:

• April 1, 2016. Returning King’s students are encouraged to apply by this date and pay the $50.00 application fee and the $400.00 confirmation deposit in order to be included in the first round of upper-year room assignments. Every effort will be made to assign upper-year students their first ‘room of choice’.

After April 1, 2016, residence is filled on a first-come, first-served basis. There is still lots of space available! Fill out your application and pay your residence fees as soon as you can to reserve your residence room at King’s.

How will I receive notice about the status of my application?

Remember to set up your Dalhousie Net ID and email and check it frequently! Notification about the status of all residence applications and room placements is only made using the Dalhousie email system. Visit my.dal.ca and click on the 'New User' link to get started. We cannot guarantee that residence notifications will be sent to any other email address you provide to us.

INFORMATION FOR NON-KING’S, NSCAD AND DALHOUSIE STUDENTS

If you are a non-King's or a non-Dalhousie student, please contact the residence office (residence@ukings.ca or 1.902.422.1271, ext. 215) and request a BANNER student ID number. Please provide us with your full name, home address and date of birth. This ID number is required in order for you to proceed with your application.

RESIDENCE FEES AND WITHDRAWAL POLICY

The following policy applies to all resident students: The Student agrees to remain in residence for the duration of the academic year as set out in the 2016-2017 Academic Calendar. Any Student who wishes to leave residence during the academic year will be held responsible for his/her residence fees for the full academic year, or until a replacement acceptable to the University, is found. Early withdrawal may be granted in the event that the Student graduates, undertakes a co-op placement, internship or practicum required for academic purposes outside the metro area, or is unable to continue in residence for other reasons acceptable to the University. The University shall have sole discretion in determining what constitutes valid grounds for early withdrawal from residence. It is the Student’s responsibility to provide written notification to the Residence Office that they will not be remaining in residence for the full academic year at least two weeks prior to their departure from residence. Students who wish to live in residence for only one term must indicate this intention when completing the residence application. First preference for rooms will be given to those students intending to stay for both Fall and Winter terms. Withdrawal granted on medical grounds must be substantiated by medical documentation within one (1) calendar month after the date of withdrawal. An additional administrative fee of $175.00 will be levied in the case of early withdrawal from an assigned room.

Residence Lifestyle

All efforts will be made to place students within their preferred lifestyle. The College, however, retains the right to alter room assignments.

Single rooms are not usually allocated to first year students except on documented medical grounds (see area indicated as: MEDICAL)

If a single room becomes available, I would like to be considered for it. Single room rates will apply.

Angels Roost is a small, comfortable, co-ed residence environment in which rooms have been set aside specifically to meet the living and learning needs of upper-year students and students in the one-year Bachelor of Journalism programme. This unique residence is comprised of single rooms and is situated in the heart of campus, literally steps away from the Kings School of Journalism.

Note: Every effort will be made to place you in Angels Roost. However, if we are unable to do so, we will attempt to assign you a single room in another residence. Should you have a preference for another residence building, please indicate below.

All efforts will be made to place returning/upper-year students in single rooms, in their preferred building, room, and lifestyle choice.

The College retains the right to alter room assignments at any time prior to occupancy. Returning students must be in good academic standing and eligible to return to university.
