MacEwan Residence is pleased to offer guaranteed residence space for 2012/13 to students of MacEwan University:
1. whose residence application for 2012/13 has been received by May 1, '12, and;
2. whose $500 residence Security Deposit has been received by June 15, '12, and;
3. who have been accepted for studies at MacEwan for 2012/13 by June 15, '12.
Note: Winter terms at MacEwan Residence (regardless of year) do not have a residence guarantee. Space for the winter term is subject to departures from the fall term and to overall availability.
Applicants who do not meet all of the above criteria will be assigned to available residence space on a first come, first served basis once all those who qualified for guaranteed housing are placed.
Roommate requests will only be considered where all roommates have met the guaranteed criteria and where identical application preferences (e.g., suite type, stay duration and living area) are provided by all roommates.
Furthermore, final residence space is contingent upon the student submitting all required subsequent documentation and fees and being a MacEwan student at move-in.
An application for Fall and Winter 2012/13 is subject to an eight (8) month Residence Agreement from September 2012 to April 2013 and does not include the December/January break University closure.
An application for Fall 2012 is subject to a four (4) month residence agreement from September 2012 to December 2012 and does not include the December/January break.
Applications will be processed only if the required $50 application fee has been paid.
Be sure to select the correct term for which you require residence (i.e. select Fall and Winter 2012-13 for next year, not Fall and Winter 2011-12 which is the current school year).
If the term you require is not listed, it means that applications for that period are not being accepted at that time. If the term you are looking for is not open, we ask that you do not submit an on-line application as it will not be processed and you cannot transfer the application from one period to another.
Step 1 - It is recommended that students submit their online application and pay the required $50 application fee. The application takes 10 - 12 minutes. Processing a paper application may take 2 - 4 business days to process, which may affect the status of your offer. Click here to apply now.
Be sure to include your myMacEwan email address and MacEwan Student ID# (if known). If you are not a MacEwan student, you are required to provide the email address that has been provided to you by the post secondary institution that you are attending.
Step 2 - Within five (5) business days of receiving your completed paid residence application, the application will be processed and an offer will be subject to availability. If an offer is possible, you will receive a letter via email with instructions for securing your residence space. The offer letter will not include an assigned suite type at this point. If we are unable to make an offer, you will receive a letter via email advising you that you have been waitlisted.
Step 3 - Confirm and secure your residence space by submitting your Security Deposit Payment Authorization Form for your $500 Security Deposit. The Security Deposit must be received by MacEwan Residence Services by the deadline indicated in your offer letter (June 15, 2012 for guaranteed housing).
If your Security deposit is not received by the deadline in your offer letter, your residence application will be cancelled.
PLEASE NOTE: We encourage all applicants to pay the Security Deposit prior to the deadline in their offer letter. The longer an applicant waits to confirm their space, the less chance there is that their preferred suite and/or roommate preference(s) will be allocated.
Step 4 - Within five (5) business days of receiving your Security Deposit, you will be sent a notice (via email) indicating receipt of your Security Deposit.
Step 5 - By July 31, 2012 you will be emailed an assignment package detailing your assigned suite type, move-in information and payment form for your remaining residence fees. Please note: you will not be notified of your suite number, phone number, suitemate name(s), etc until move-in.
Step 6 - Submit your Payment Authorization Form along with residence fees, based on your selected payment plan. Payment Authorization Forms are due no later than your allocated move-in day.
Residence Application Fee - $ 50.00
