Waiting for your offer

After you complete your application

  • When you apply to SFU residences and pay your $50 deposit fee, you are automatically added to the housing queue
  • Offers are made on an ongoing basis to all admitted and eligible students:
    • Undergraduate housing: based on our priority housing processes and your application complete date
    • Graduate students and Family housing: based on your application complete date
  • Once we have the majority of our spaces accepted, the waitlist will be available on your MyPlace@SFU and you can see your place on the waitlist
  • Throughout the room offering process we continue to send offers when space becomes available to the next eligible student in the application queue
  • Once the term begins we occasionally have rooms that become available. We will contact the waitlist by email to see who may still be interested in housing
  • If you are still looking for housing a few weeks before move in or into the term, please contact us at housing@sfu.ca to enquire about possible space
