How to apply

Step 1: Get your CCID

A Campus Computing ID (CCID) is the main way to access an abundance of campus resources, including applying to residence. To get one, you must first apply to a program. You will receive a CCID within 72 hours of applying (you do not need to be accepted or conditionally accepted to get a CCID).

Step 2: Submit your application and pay the fee

Log into your residence account using your CCID and fill out the application form. Pay the $25 non-refundable application fee by credit card and submit. Please fill out your application accurately and completely to ensure it gets processed and a spot is held for you in residence. 

Apply now for fall 2026 and winter 2027.

Step 3: Confirm your space

In late spring, check your U of A email regularly for information about your room offer or selection.

  • Students who applied to a first-year residence will be assigned a room which you can accept by completing the online confirmation contract in the housing portal.
  • Students who applied to upper-year residence can choose their building and room. Time slots for room selection are determined by application date, so apply early for the best selection.
    Students applying for International House or Résidence Saint-Jean will not be eligible to choose their own room assignment.

Please view our cancellation policy and electronic communications policy.

No, only current U of A students are eligible to live in U of A residences.

Both students will have to apply for either their respective first-year or upper-year application then reach out to Residence Services informing us that you are requesting this arrangement. We can then make the change to both applications and place both students on our extenuating circumstances list. As a note, first-year students who live in an upper-year residence will not receive the same experience as they would if they live in a first-year community.
