Housing Information for Aboriginal Applicants

For general residence and housing information, please see SFU Student Services Residence and Housing

Priority Access Policy

Simon Fraser University’s Residence and Housing Office currently has a Priority Access Policy in place for certain groups of applicants to Residence and Housing. This includes Aboriginal applicants. The term “Aboriginal”, in accordance with Section 35 (2) of the Canadian Constitution, refers to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit applicants who self-identify as such. Accordingly, SFU Residence and Housing is prepared to offer priority access to Aboriginal applicants who:

1. Self-identify as Aboriginal applicants on the Residence and Housing application form and on their faculty/program admission application. Student Services will provide Residence and Housing with a list of applicants to SFU who have self-identified as Aboriginal.
2. Submit completed applications on time to the Residence and Housing Office. Please check the Residence and Housing website for deadline dates.

Some residence and housing units may be held aside for late applicants who apply under this policy. However, as numbers and guarantees may vary from year to year, applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible and within deadline application dates.
