Prior to completing your Family Housing Application, here are a few things to consider:

- it is essential that you remain affiliated with the University for the duration of your tenancy (summer semester off excluded)
Your Start Date:
- Vacancies occur throughout the year, so you can apply for a start date at any time during the year
- January, May and September are the most popular start dates and typically, demand exceeds supply
- You can apply for a lease start date one month prior to your semester start date (for example, you can start a tenancy August 1 for the fall semester)
Location:
- You will be asked to tell us your preference for a unit type and location on your application. More details can be found at Wellington Woods or 78 College Avenue
