I’m planning to attend College of the North Atlantic (CNA). Can I still apply to Student Housing at Grenfell Campus?
Student Housing at Grenfell Campus reserves 23 room spaces for CNA students as per an agreement with the Newfoundland and Labrador government. The deadline to apply is May 1 and we typically receive upwards of 70 applications for those spaces. After May 1, a lottery draw will be completed to determine who will be accepted.
I’m planning to attend Academy Canada. Can I still apply to Student Housing at Grenfell Campus?
Students studying at Academy Canada can apply to live with Student Housing, however our priority is to ensure that students studying at Grenfell Campus are offered acceptances. Should we have spaces available in late August/early September, we will certainly reach out to students from Academy Canada. We suggest looking for off-campus accommodations.
Does Student Housing offer accommodations to individuals not currently enrolled in classes?
To live with Student Housing, individuals must be registered students. If you are looking to book accommodations during the Spring/Summer and will not be a registered student, you will need to arrange your stay with Conference Services.
I would like to request alternative accommodations for Fall. What should I do?
Students who would like to apply for alternative accommodations should first apply to Student Housing on the StarRez portal. Students are able to print the alternative accommodations form and complete the form with their medical professional. Please submit documents to the Learning Centre prior to June 15. You will need to reapply for Student Housing and alternative accommodations for each academic year.

I haven’t lived with others before, what items should I discuss with my roommate(s)?
Some important conversation points to discuss early in the semester include: cleaning agreements, noise, guests, use of communal items, etc.
