Accepting Your Guaranteed Offer
Please also review the Step by Step Guide: How Accept Guaranteed Offer of Residence.
Step 1: You must first accept your offer of admission to Carleton University and wait for your application status on Carleton360 to display “Applicant Acceptance” before you can accept your guaranteed offer of residence. There may be a delay of three or four days between the time you accept the offer of admission and are able to accept your offer of residence. Please do not wait until the last day to accept your offer of residence, as the deadline of Monday, June 10, 2024 is strict.
Step 2: Accept your guaranteed residence offer through the Housing Portal by clicking the link below. You will require MC1 credentials to log into the portal.
Step 3: Read and accept the terms of the 2024-2025 Residence Agreement.
Step 4: Pay your non-refundable Residence Advance Payment (RAP) through the portal.
Please do not pay this to your Student Account – it will go unnoticed and will appear that you did not accept your residence offer. The non-refundable residence advanced payment ($700) can be paid by credit card (Visa, Mastercard or American Express, any Visa/Debit* cards) or by Interac. Please note that only customers of RBC Royal Bank, TD Bank, and First Nations may use the Interac option.
Step 5: Be sure to pay the RAP, complete, and save your application by Monday, June 10, 2024 in order to be placed in a time ticket lottery for room selection.
Step 6: Check your Carleton email to ensure your residence acceptance is confirmed and for a receipt of the $700 RAP.
Note: All email correspondence will go to your Carleton email account. Please check your Carleton email account on a regular basis.
