Applying for Academic Year (September – April)
You can apply to the residence by filling out the online application available at www.georgebrown.ca/residence or visiting our My Housing Portal. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. When you apply for residence, you are required to pay a $100.00 application fee.
Spaces are limited for returning students, and acceptances for these spots will be based on a lottery system.
Applications that do not include a security deposit are considered incomplete and will not be considered for acceptance. You can apply online by filling out a residence application by selecting the Apply Now button in the top right-hand corner of the residence webpage. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Applying for Winter (January - April)
Residence applications for the Winter Term open in the first week of September. The number of spaces available for the January intake fluctuates throughout the Fall term due to many students giving up their space in residence. We still encourage you to apply as we will try our best to accommodate students looking for housing in the Winter Academic Term. Contact us if you are interested in starting residence in January, and we will be able to help you further with the application process.
Applying for Summer Semester (May-August)
Students that are interested in staying with us over the Summer are more than welcome to do so! We offer accommodations for students to live at the residence over the summer with rates found on our rates and payments page. Applications for our Summer Term will open the January of that year before the specific Summer Semester you're interested in. You can apply to stay with us over the Summer here: www.georgebrown.ca/current-students/services/residence. Students that currently live in residence and would like to continue residing at The George for the Summer do not need to move out. However, they may be moved to another floor to ensure they live in a community with their peers and ensure all suites get thoroughly cleaned.
If I am a Summer Student and want to continue living in residence for the upcoming academic year, do I need to create a new application?
Yes. A new application is required for each new term. Not all summer students are guaranteed residence for the academic term as applications are accepted on a first come first serve basis, and you may be placed on a waitlist.
