Housing comparison  

Some SFU students who apply to residence qualify for Priority Housing.

You must be eligible to receive an offer:

• admitted to SFU
• have no financial holds on your student account
• have a completed application for housing

And Meet one of the following:

1. Indigenous students: students admitted to SFU who are First Nations, (Status or Non-Status), Metis or Inuit
2. Current or former BC Youth in Care
3. SFU Undergraduate Scholars Entrance Scholarship Recipients (USES,UGGLA) and Student Athletes on a Full-ride Scholarship
4. SFU WUSC Student Refugee Program
5. New students with a disability or ongoing medical condition that significantly affects your housing needs (Students complete an Accessibility Accommodation request in their application process and will then be asked to provide additional information demonstrating eligibility to be reviewed by the Centre for Accessible Learning)
6. FALL INTAKE: Current residents (Fall/Spring) that are under 19 years of age by July 1 for the upcoming Fall term and have applied by February 1

SFU Residence and Housing aims to provide a safe and inclusive residence community for all students. As all our residence rooms are single occupancy – meaning you do not share your room with anyone else, almost all floors are mixed gender though you may apply for our limited single gender floors. Selecting single gender floors in your application will limit building options as these are only available in some buildings.

If you are accepted to one of our Living Learning Communities that are housed in an area together as part of the community program, you will be assigned to that community's building. If you have already accepted an offer for a different room or building type, your room placement will change to be able to participate in that community.
