International first-year 2027 guarantee · September 2027 international prospectus

The September 2027 international prospectus says first-year students who apply for residence by December 31, 2026 are guaranteed a space. Residence requires a separate application; an academic admission offer is not needed to apply. This is the prospectus’s international first-year claim. University residence offers and confirmation requirements still apply; affiliate colleges administer their own placements. No preferred room or 2027 fee is promised.

University residence placement and meal conditions · 2026–27 contract

University-managed halls normally require nine credit hours per term; eligible ICM University Transfer students have separate standing conditions. Room offers depend on placement and must be confirmed by the individual offer deadline. Pembina Hall, Speechly and University College require meal plans; Mauro has optional plans. Weekly swipes run Saturday through Friday; Food Bucks carry from Fall to Winter and expire at academic year-end. Winter move-in is January 5, 2027. The December 24–January 4 holiday stay costs $370 including dinner each day and must be requested by December 1. The two linked contracts give different early-arrival date windows; an early move-in is not assumed.

St Andrew’s separate residence and meals · 2026–27

Placement is administered by the College; a $1,000 non-refundable payment confirms an offered place. Its mandatory 19-meal weekly plan excludes November 9–13, 2026, February 15–19, 2027 and Christmas. Published meal periods are September 8–December 20, 2026 and January 7–April 20, 2027. The May 2026 contract requires second-term payment by December 1; the linked undated handbook instead says January 15. Its August 15 guarantee concerns parking, not a residence space.

St John’s separate residence and meals · 2026–27 and Summer 2027

College placement is subject to space and an accepted offer, with a $1,000 down payment due by the individual offer deadline. Room and board are mandatory. The room period ends April 26, 2027; the contract ends Winter meals April 24 and the handbook April 25. Meals pause over Christmas and resume January 5, 2027. Summer 2027 room and board is a separate published monthly tariff; no academic-year 2027–28 price is inferred.

2027–28 residence application · September 2027–April 2028
