Prospective Students
Stay in Chestnut Residence over the summer!
Chestnut
Chestnut Conference Centre is the ideal space to host a wide range of events, from breakfast meetings, working lunches, and executive training sessions, to multi-day conferences.
Chestnut Residence houses first year students from many faculties and colleges. 75% of our spaces are occupied by first year students! 1st year students are placed in double rooms, allowing them the opportunity to connect with a peer and build relationships in residence.
Residence is guaranteed for all new full-time students entering their first year of university in an undergraduate program for the first time, provided that they have indicated their interest in residence by completing the University’s common residence application. Students must respond to all deadlines and meet all deposit requirements in order to maintain their eligibility.
You are considered a new Chestnut upper year student if you have completed your first year of university but have not previously lived at Chestnut Residence. All upper year students are eligible for single rooms at Chestnut. Admission is based on date of application. After all first year students with the housing guarantee have been made an offer, we will be happy to accommodate any U of T students who are registered full-time and are in good academic standing. In order to be considered, students are expected to have had no past behavioural or conduct issues and must not have any outstanding financial balance with the University of Toronto.
Please complete your application on the University of Toronto Housing Portal.
PLEASE NOTE: Once submitted, your application will be marked as “submitted.” If your status is “pending,” please return to the application and ensure all areas have been completed.
Offers will be made on a rolling basis throughout the Spring & Summer depending on availability, with a deadline to accept listed in the letter of offer.
Please feel free to email the Residence Life Office directly for a more up-to-date status on current availability and the likelihood of securing a spot.
Students living at Chestnut Residence during the academic year will be invited to reapply to live at Chestnut for the following year. We have a limited number of upper year spaces, so students interested in living at Chestnut again are recommended to apply early.
Applications for the following year typically become available in the late winter/early spring. Information will be sent via email and applications will be available on the StarRez portal.
Offers for returning residents typically begin to be sent out in LATE MARCH/EARLY APRIL and will continue as space permits.
PLEASE NOTE: Once submitted, your application will be marked as “submitted.” If your status is “pending,” please return to the application and ensure all areas have been completed.
