The University of British Columbia

Each year we receive more applications to move into residence for September than we have rooms.

Applicants who do not receive an assignment offer are placed on the wait list and assigned a wait list number. This position number will change as applicants are removed from the wait list. You may check your position number at any time by visiting our online services and clicking on "Application Status".

While it is not possible to know how many students will cancel their residence assignment, based on past experience we offer the following suggestions:

• 1-150: there is an excellent possibility you will receive a residence offer during the summer.
• 151- 350: although dependent on cancellations - we believe there is a good possibility you may receive a residence offer later in the summer although it may not be your preferred residence area or type.
• 351 and above: watch the waitlist's movement, but it would be prudent to begin to investigate options for alternative housing for September 2012.
  Marine Drive residence also has year-round accommodation from September 1, 2012 through August 15, 2013.

Offer of Residence

If you are offered a place in residence, we will email an offer with information you need to make an informed decision to accept or decline the offer of residence. Once we offer you a place, you will be given a specific time in which to accept or decline. If you decline or if you do not respond, the offer will be withdrawn and your housing application will be cancelled.

Cancelling your residence application

Please advise Student Housing & Hospitality Services in writing, by e-mail or on-line if you no longer require to live in residence.
