Housing Application Fee

When applying for housing, there is an initial fee of $160.00. This is broken down into:

• $100 1^st Room deposit if you ACCEPT an Offer of Accommodation

*The Housing Application Fee can be paid via credit card should you wish to do so.

However, if your application remains open on our waitlist you are entitled to receive a refund of $100 if:

• We have not made you a room offer by the first day of the contract (At this time, your application will be canceled and the $100 deposit will automatically be refunded to your credit card) OR

Dining Plan

All New University Students/First Year Students living in University Hall, Piikani House, or Kainai House are automatically enrolled in a minimum Commuter Dining Plan with no option to "opt-out." This is a "room and board" program. When you accept your Offer of Accommodation you must also provide a dining plan deposit.

Dining Plan Deposit - $500.00

All students living in Mount Blakiston House, Siksika House, Tsuu T'ina House Townhomes, or The Village, may choose to enroll in an optional dining plan through the online Check-In system that opens in July. *Note: The dining plan deposit is only required if you choose an optional dining plan.

Security Deposit

A one-time refundable security deposit will be added to your student account via the online Check-In system. It will be refunded to you when you move out if no cleaning or damage charges have been assessed against your account. Our team must review the move-in inspection, move-out inspection & cleaning sheet documentation in order to determine cleaning fees and assess damage charges. Please refer to your Residence Handbook in regards to damage charges. Once our team has assessed your unit after you have moved out, you will receive an email if you are getting a full refund should there be no damages incurred. You will receive your refund within 60 days. If there are any damages, you will receive an email with a breakdown of the charges for the damages incurred.

Security Deposit - $400.00

All residents staying in the University of Lethbridge residences including International Students are required to have insurance coverage for the duration of the single student license agreement. All residents will automatically be enrolled in a tenant insurance program through the University of Lethbridge. Each resident will be charged a tenant insurance fee of $85.00 for the 8-month academic year and will be required to pay this fee along with their residence fees by the payment deadline. New Winter and Summer students must also pay this fee. This policy includes coverage subject to terms and conditions for personal belongings, personal liability coverage, and additional living expenses.

Tenant Insurance Fee 2024/2025 - $85.00

Why do we require insurance coverage?
Insurance coverage for all students living in residence ensures students and the University are protected from accidents or disasters. In recent years, some Canadian institutions’ insurance providers have chosen to hold students financially responsible for damages caused by students living in residence. Without insurance coverage, students could be at great financial risk. A disaster could damage or destroy your belongings, and could also make you liable to your neighbours and your landlord, should their property get damaged. A mandatory insurance policy ensures that students living in residences at the University of Lethbridge will be shielded from this risk and liability.

Residence Network Access

Residents can quickly contact campus security and access 911 services. You can also use your phones for on-campus calling, local outgoing calls, 911 services, and fast access to campus security.

*Note: U of L Telecommunications equips all of our residences with desk phones, providing a default phone service for every room. These Internet Protocol (IP Phones) run over high speed, part of an enhanced 911 service that enables 911 to call you back. If the phone unit is disconnected, moved, or tampered with, it will appear on a report and you will be asked to plug it back in. These phones will only work on ULeth campus and if the device is removed you will incur additional costs. The numbers are essentially a 4-digit extension number. You can call out but you cannot receive any calls from off-campus. The call display will simply indicate "Residence," and room numbers are never published in a directory.

Residence Network Access Fee 2024/2025 - $135.68 per term

Organization of Resident Students (ORS)

ORS Council provides community development opportunities to meet, interact, and socialize in an academic atmosphere, for the benefit of each member and the community as a whole.

ORS Fee 2024/2025 - $50.00 per term

Innovation Fund

For all first-year students, there is a mandatory innovation fund per academic year. The Innovation Fund is used to enhance options within the dining plan food providers. For example: a smoothie machine in Urban Market.
