Housing Assistance

Ensuring Accessibility Within Your Student Housing

Finding a Residence That Works for You

UofG Student Housing Services

Students who require an accessibility accommodation related to their specific placement (location or room type) may submit an Accommodation Request form to be reviewed during the room assignment process.   

Generally speaking, residence and room assignments are based on a randomized lottery system that takes into consideration your building and room type preferences. However, we recognize that some students have unique circumstances that require special consideration.

We can’t guarantee that all requests will be accommodated (based on availability), but we will work with you in finding a living situation that best meets your needs. Most of our residences can accommodate a variety of accommodation situations. For a list of the most common requests and associated residence locations, consult the summary of potential locations outlined below.

The deadline for Accessibility Accommodation Request form is the same as the Residence Application deadline in June. Submission of an Accessibility Form does not guarantee you an offer of residence.

Attendant Care

The University of Guelph does not provide attendant care. SAS can assist students in obtaining attendant care by linking you to community resources such as the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) and Guelph Independent Living (GIL).
