Apply for campus housing

Campus housing admissions process

NSCC uses a 'first applied, first considered' approach to campus housing admission. You don't need to be accepted into an academic program to apply, but priority is given to students who've confirmed their acceptance offers.

Additional Request for Consideration

If you require specific consideration for a room assignment under either Nova Scotia's Accessibility Act, the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act (professional verification may be required) or for another reason outlined in our consideration form, please ensure that you indicate on your campus housing application. A campus housing coordinator will be in contact with you via email regarding your request. 

Withdrawals and refunds

All campus housing deposits, once paid, are non-refundable.

A student who is unable to continue living in campus housing due to medical reasons, and/or exceptional circumstances beyond their control, may submit a written application, along with any applicable supporting evidence including medical documentation, to NSCC Campus Housing to request a pro-rated credit of their fees. The application must be submitted within fourteen (14) days of the student’s withdrawal from campus housing. Applications will be considered and determined by the College at its sole and absolute discretion.

A student who withdraws from campus housing after the start of occupancy, regardless of the reason, will be held financially responsible for room and board fees as follows:

• The student will be required to pay a $100.00 administrative services fee on withdrawal.
• The student will be required to pay all campus housing fees as outlined in their Campus Housing Assignment Form, prorated to the actual date of departure, plus an additional (4) four weeks of room fees from the actual date of departure.
• Students who withdraw from campus housing during Fall semester after November 1, 2023 or during Winter semester after March 1, 2024 will be responsible for payment of the entire room and board fees as quoted for the full semester.
