Incoming Residents

You've submitted your application for residence.

What's next?

Please note: As we transition to a new software system, it is important to routinely check your inbox for updates regarding your application, the roommate search & selection process, and your room offer. All communications and offers will be sent to your University of Alberta Gmail account, so please ensure that you are able to login and access that inbox, and add housing@ualberta.ca to your contacts to avoid missing any important residence information!

1. Watch for your room offer

If you've applied for the Fall term, the first round of room offers will be sent out as follows:

  • Early Spring for returning upper-year undergraduate and graduate students
  • Late May for new students

If you indicated in your application that you are seeking housing for Winter ONLY, the first round of room offers for that term will begin going out in mid-late November.*

*Note: Residence Services reserves the ability to suspend an applicant's room offer or renewal if they have an outstanding residence account balance.

2. Inform us of any changes

CANCEL YOUR APPLICATION

You are able to cancel your housing application yourself here, using the following steps:

  1. Navigate to your completed Housing Application, and go to the last page: Application Summary. There is a link at the bottom of this page that will take you directly to the Cancellation Form. 
  2. Alternatively, you can click on Forms and Requests in the navigation bar across the top of the screen, then select Cancellation Form from the list of available forms.
  3. Click “Access Form” beside the term of the application that you wish to cancel.

Upon submission of the Cancellation Form, you will receive an emailed confirmation to your UAlberta Gmail account that your application has been cancelled (please check your spam folder as well).

Please note that if you wish to re-apply for housing for the same term and you have already paid your non-refundable $25.00 application fee, you will not have to pay that fee again. If you have not paid an application fee, you will be required to pay it when you re-apply. If you are not attending the University of Alberta in the upcoming term(s), please ensure you have deleted your registration in Beartracks for all terms. If you have any questions regarding this please contact the Student Services Centre.

Please review our cancellation policy and let us know if you have any questions before cancelling.
