1. Remain on the Fall Waitlist

Your application will remain open on our waitlist:

We will make room offers as cancellations occur. While on the waitlist you will only be entitled to receive a refund of $100 if:

  • We have not made you a room offer by the first day of the September contract (At this time, your application will be canceled, and the $100 deposit will automatically be refunded to your credit card) OR
  • You have contacted us in writing to cancel your application, prior to our office issuing a room offer. Once an Offer of Accommodation has been issued and further rejected, your full advance payment of $100 be forfeited.

2. Cancel your application

Cancel application refund to credit card:

Although the application fee of $60 is non-refundable, we will refund the $100 deposit to your credit card. (Cancellations must be in writing and sent to housing@uleth.ca)

3. Transfer your application

Transfer your application to the Winter Term:

Applications transferred to the Winter term are no longer considered waitlisted for the (previous) Fall term. There may be a small turnover during the December term break, and applicants carried forward in this manner are given waitlisted priority on these new vacancies.

While on the waitlist for Winter, you will only be entitled to receive a refund of $100 if:

  • We have not made you an On-Campus Housing offer by first-day contract in January (your application will be canceled and the $100 deposit will automatically be refunded to your credit card) OR
  • If you have contacted us in writing to cancel your application prior to our office issuing a room offer. (Once an Offer of Accommodation has been issued and further rejected, your full advance payment of $100 will be forfeited.)
