Applying to Family Housing | University of Guelph Student Housing Services

College Ave Townhouses

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

to apply for a Family Housing apartment or townhouse, you must be a registed student (or have accepted an offer of admission) at the University of Guelph
if vacancies permit, applications will also be accepted from faculty or staff of the University of Guelph, and an offer may be made once all student applicants have been accommodated
it is important that you remain affiliatied with the University for the duration of your tenancy (summer semester off excluded)

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)

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
We do not know where our vacancies will be located in advance, as our residents give us 60 days notice when they are leaving Family Housing

Monthly rental rates include all utilities (except internet, telephone and cable television)
If you receive an offer, you will be asked to submit your first months rent as a deposit. We do not ask for payment of last month's rent or other deposits.
