PART D: Accommodation Information (Optional)
The North Tower Residence is home to the Honours College Living-Learning Community. A Living-Learning Community means that you will live in the same hallway with a group of students who are also enrolled in the University Honours Certificate. This will be a co-ed hall. There will be a dedicated Residence Assistant who is knowledgeable about the Honours College and can help you with any questions you have. Please note, this option is only available for individuals entering first year.

The first step is to complete the general residence application to North Tower. For more information and to register for residence, please visit our Housing website. There are limited spots available in the Living-Learning Community so not all students enrolled in the Honours College Certificate will be guaranteed a room. If you are selected for these accommodations, you will be notified and receive instructions for next steps to confirm your place in the Living-Learning Community. If you are not selected for the Living-Learning Community, you will still be eligible for residence but will be placed somewhere else.
