First-year residence guarantee2026–27

2026–27 · The 2026–27 academic calendar states that admission to the university does not guarantee admission to residence, and residence acceptance does not guarantee admission to the university. This is an admission-versus-housing policy, not a claim about every possible special allocation.

The current official directory lists four Charlottetown residence options plus the CCCCA apartment residence in St. Peter’s Bay.

The building page explicitly describes two private bedrooms per apartment, a full kitchen without microwave/dishwasher, common lounge/laundry and optional meals. Its central directory lists 63 apartments; no bed-capacity total is inferred.

Two-bedroom units with full kitchens; the published CAD 900 monthly amount is for the full unit.

Placement and contract terms

Residence application and enrolment · 2026–27

Apply through eRezLife using credentials supplied after UPEI acceptance. Full-time students receive accommodation priority; Accessible Learning students can have individual course-load arrangements. Applicants under eighteen need guardian consent. Admission to UPEI is not itself a residence guarantee.

Room confirmation deposit · 2026–27

CAD 500 credited against residence fees. Fall and Winter offer letters set the individual payment deadline; the contract does not publish one universal guarantee date. The contract states a study-permit rejection exception to its nonrefundable-deposit policy.

December holiday closure · 2026–27

Ordinary contracts exclude the December holiday period. Approved stays are case by case and carry a CAD 250 extension charge; dining hall service is closed. The contract says the request form and actual deadline will be posted by 31 October 2026. October 31 is not the stay-application deadline.

Residence meal-plan rules · 2026–27

Bernardine and Andrew require non-exemptible five- or seven-day plans. PAC and Blanchard plans are optional. Winter five-/seven-day plan changes must be requested in writing before 15 December 2026. CCCCA meal terms are not established by the reviewed pages.

Residence fee due dates · 2026–27

The contract publishes Fall fees due 22 September 2026 and Winter fees due 26 January 2027. These are payment deadlines for the existing contract cycle, not September 2027 admission dates.

Winter contract date conflict · 2026–27

The source’s Winter Semester row explicitly starts January 10, 2026 and ends April 27, 2027. This apparent year error is not silently changed to January 2027 and is not imported as a valid Winter2027 start date.

Meal plans and dietary needs

Published meal plans: Andrew and Bernardine residents must buy a five- or seven-day unlimited plan. PAC and Blanchard plans are optional. Unlimited plans include Dana Dollars for campus retail use, but the reviewed page does not state their amount. CCCCA meal inclusion is not established by these pages.
Mandatory meal plans: In 2026–27, Bernardine and Bill/Denise Andrew Hall require a five- or seven-day meal plan each semester, already included in their published room-and-meal packages. Do not add the same meal charge again.
Cooking and optional plans: The published fee schedule makes five-/seven-day or block plans optional for Performing Arts Centre Residence and Blanchard Hall. CCCCA family-apartment arrangements require a separate review; no optional/mandatory rule is inferred there.
Partner and college dining: School-wide policy not researched
Dietary and accessibility needs: The current residence meal-plan page publishes halal, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, plus theme meals. Students with special dietary needs are directed to meet Dexterra’s chefs. This is a meal-plan service policy, not an allergy-free guarantee or a promise that every retail outlet serves every option.
