- What will move-in look like?
-
Winter move-in will start on January 5th through to January 10th, 2021 from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. More information will be emailed to students Carleton email accounts in December.
- Will there be anyone to help me move my belongings into my room?
-
At this time, we will not have student facilitators assisting with moving students into rooms due to physical distancing requirements. Students are permitted to have one family member/friend to assist them with their move. Carts will be loaned by Housing and Residence Life Services to students at request.
Living in Residence During COVID-19
Although we will not be able to meet you in person for Residence Orientation, we have created a virtual orientation experience that will provide you with everything you need to know about living in Residence. This orientation will need to be completed before you arrive in September.
- What will my residence experience look like?
-
While the restrictions may require us to limit interaction in physical spaces, our team is working hard to adapt our current practices and design and exceptional experiences for you. This may mean that we interact in smaller groups, one-on-one and virtually. It may not look like it has in previous years but we are committed to providing you with a great Residence experience – even in the most challenging times!
- Will I be able to move out of residence before the end of my contracted term?
-
Students moving into residence in September are committed to the terms and conditions of the 8 month Residence Agreement. First year students with guaranteed residence who deferred their arrival to January 2021 and any student offered winter only are committed to the Agreement from January to April.
When you move into Residence, it is your responsibility to comply with the conditions outlined in the Residence Agreement and Standards. If you withdraw from residence because you are no longer registered in courses for any reason, you will be credited residence fees from the day you move out, less a processing and administration fee of $700. Students who remain in courses who move out of residence are not entitled to any credit of residence fees. Please refer to the Residence Agreement for the full policy on withdrawing from residence after moving in. Click here for the Residence Agreement.
