Acadia Park is reserved for couples and for people with one or more dependant children 18 years of age or younger. Your children must reside with you in Acadia Park for a minimum of ten months of the year for you to be eligible. Also, we need to see proof of your children. For each child, please submit copies of either a birth certificate or immigration papers or medical services documents with your application. And of course, one adult - parental or spousal - family member must meet the academic credit load requirements to live in residence. Demand for Acadia Park is high and you will most likely be placed on a waiting list, which is based on the date we receive your application and the type of unit for which you are eligible (and prefer). Apply early for your best chance at a spot. Your application is valid for one year only, and can be renewed yearly.
