Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Annex or Suite-Style?
These rooms are traditional dorm-style rooms that are located within an apartment-style residence. The amenities within a suite (apartment) include a washroom/s, common area, laundry facilities, and a kitchenette that are shared between 3-6 students that live within the suite.
Is the dining plan mandatory?
Yes. Students living in residences operated by the University are required to have a Dining Plan. Dining Plans are an important way to ensure students have the opportunity to eat well during the school year. Suite-style rooms offer a reduced rate due to the access to a full kitchen.
How are residence fees paid?
Residence fees will be issued in two installments. Both installment deadlines are the same as the tuition fee deadlines which can be found in the academic calendar. These fees can be paid the same way as tuition payments. More information can be found on Trent's "Making a Payment" webpage.
Are there any additional fees?
The residence application consists of a $50 application fee and a $500 deposit. Additional fees can be allocated to a student's account through damage charges upon and after moving out. These fees will be calculated and added to a student's account if there is any damage to their residence room, common space, or if there are any items missing from the student's room upon move-out.
If I cancel my application, do I get my money back?
The residence application fee is a non-refundable $50 fee, required to access and use Trent’s Housing Portal application software.
The refund policy for our residence deposit varies based on what term you have applied for. Please visit our Academic Year, Winter, or Summer application pages to learn more about deposit refunds for these specific terms.
