Please ensure that you have a valid U of T student number and UTORid before starting the application process. If you have not been assigned a UTORid and you meet our housing eligibility criteria for graduate or medical housing, then please contact the Residence Services Desk for assistance.
Completing the UTM Grad/Med Housing Application Steps:
- Login to StarRez at residence.utoronto.ca with your UTORid & password.
- Click "Apply to Residence", complete the form and click "Save and Continue"
- Click "UTM - Graduate and Medical Housing Application"
- Complete all steps of the application
- Ensure you pay the $350 non-refundable application fee
- Submit your application by the deadline (see below)
Applications must be submitted by the deadline. Current Tenants are required to submit the application earlier than New Applicants. Please ensure you review our dates and deadlines below.
Graduate housing applicants are prioritized for the upcoming term in the following order:
- Current tenants
- Applicants that remained on the waitlist from the previous application period
- New applicants
Applicants who remained on the waitlist from the previous application period will be required to complete the application for the new occupancy period to maintain their order on the waiting list. If a new application is not received by the deadline then the applicant will be treated as a New Applicant.
While we do our best to accommodate all applicants, every year we receive more applications than we have rooms available. A student's waitlist number is based on the date and time the applications are received. Waitlist number updates will be sent weekly.
Receiving a spot in residence from the waitlist:
- As spaces become available in a specific category, offers will be made.
- If a waitlist category is exhausted then an alternate category will be used to fill the space. This process will continue until no space remains or the waitlist is exhausted;
- We will notify applicants through e-mail when a room becomes available and require an answer within two (2) business days. If we do not receive an email back within that time frame your application will be cancelled. Please ensure to keep your contact information up-to-date directly through ACORN.
Cancelling from the waitlist:
- If we offer you a residence room and you decline because you would like another housing style, your application will be cancelled.
- If you find alternate housing and you would like to cancel off the waitlist, please cancel via the Cancellation/Withdrawal form found in your StarRez application. Verbal or phone cancellations will not be accepted. The application fee and acceptance deposit are non-refundable.
The waitlist will remain active throughout the academic year.
