Residence Fees
Application Fee
The $50 non-refundable application fee is used to process your application. The application fee is required for all new applications, but it is not required for a current Resident applying for the upcoming term, provided there is no break in dates.
The application fee is due within two business days of submitting your application. See Payment Options ›
Residence Deposit
The $350 Residence Deposit* is due five business days** from when room selection or offer is sent. See Payment Options ›
* The Residence Deposit is waived for RRC Polytech students that will be living in residence for less than 60 days.
** Sponsored students must contact the Campus Living Office prior to the payment deadline to make special arrangements.
Room Rates for 2024-2025
Term Dates

Long-Term Stays
Residence Fees are due in full before a student moves in. This deadline is for all students, including those waiting for external funding such as loans, sponsorship, and bursaries.
Note: Fees shown below are approximate, and are based on the standard residence terms dates. Each Resident’s fees are pro-rated to the exact number of days in the individual’s Residence contract. These fees do not include the $50 application fee or the $350 Residence deposit. Fees are subject to change. Set up charges and late fees may apply.
