OUR SUITES
Suite assignments
Bachelor and four-bedroom suites are in the highest demand, and returning residents are given priority for these units. While it is not impossible for new residents to be assigned a bachelor or four-bedroom suite, it is unlikely. Any suites remaining after returning residents have been assigned will be allocated to students who are guaranteed space and then to all other students based on the date of their application and any special accommodations requested for medical needs. We encourage you to apply as early as possible to increase your chances of getting a bachelor or four-bedroom unit.
Guaranteed housing
Applicants who qualify for guaranteed housing are assigned a suite before other applicants. Guaranteed housing is available for MacEwan University students in the following three groups:
- Returning residents: Residents who are returning for both the fall and winter terms after living in residence the previous winter.
- First-year students: Residents entering the first year of a full-time program.
- Academic excellence: Residents who have been accepted into a full-time program and have received scholastic distinction, or an award or scholarship as described in the MacEwan Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries database.
To be eligible for guaranteed housing, you must apply for an 8-month or 12-month term and submit your application by April 1 if you are a returning resident and April 30 if you are a new resident. Individuals who receive a guaranteed housing offer but miss their specified deadline to accept the offer can re-apply, but are moved to a normal wait-list which is assessed on a first-come, first-served basis.
