he date to receive a
guaranteed room in residence for Fall 2010 was June
18th. However, we still have a few rooms
available so we encourage you to apply as soon as
possible to avoid disappointment. Please note:
in order to apply for
residence you must submit your online application as
well as your $500.00 residence deposit.
We will only
process your online application once we receive your
deposit.
Our online application form is available at
www.ubishops.ca/residence/application.htm.
The date that we receive your $500.00 residence
deposit is the date that we will use to prioritize
you for a room in residence.
In
the event that we do not have any rooms when you
apply
we will automatically place you on our waiting list.
The date we receive your deposit will determine your
placement on our waiting list. Once a room becomes
available we will contact you immediately. If you
decline our residence offer at that time we will
fully refund your $500.00 residence deposit and
remove you from the waiting list. If we offer you
accommodation and you accept, any subsequent
withdrawal will be based on our regular withdrawal
process that can be viewed at
www.ubishops.ca/residence.
If you have
any specific questions please do not hesitate to

How To Apply
-
First year students who come to BU on scholarship are entitled to an additional $1000.00 off their rent for the 2010-2011 academic year. These monies are applied on a monthly basis to your account with residence services
starting in October after the add/drop
deadline.
Thus, a scholarship student will receive a monthly credit of $125.00
($250.00 in October) on their Residence account. Students who withdraw from the university prior to the end of the year will receive the allocation based on the number of months that they are living in Bishop's Residence. If you are no longer eligible for your scholarship second semester than you will only receive the monthly allocation during the first semester.
-
Once you are accepted as a full-time student at Bishop's, you will be able to apply to residence.
Please note that Bishop's University
guarantees all first-year students a
room in residence provided that
Residence Services receives your
application, and your residence deposit,
on or before June18th, 2010.
-
Complete all sections of the online Residence Application Form. You can find the online application at www.ubishops.ca/residence/application.htm. Check your application carefully before you submit it. Incomplete or inaccurate applications
will not be processed and you will lose your priority ranking.
-
After submitting your online application you must follow up with a $500.00
residence deposit in order
to complete your application
and establish your priority date for
room assignment. Please submit this deposit by cheque or money order in Canadian funds or via internet banking (Royal Bank, CIBC, Scotia Bank or BMO).
Please note: while we attempt to provide students with their residence preference, please understand that receipt of your residence application and residence deposit on or before
June
18th 2010 only guarantees a room in residence and does not guarantee being placed in the building or room of your choice.
