Residences
Mount Allison is a residential university with housing facilities available for approximately 50% of the student population. Each residence is unique and provides a positive living environment, which promotes a balanced university experience.

Since 1973 the University has offered co-ed residence facilities to its students. Bennett, Bigelow, Trueman, Windsor, and Bermuda House offer single and double rooms while Edwards, Harper and Thornton have mostly single rooms. Some co-ed residences are divided by floor or by wing, while others have male and female rooms integrated on the same floor. Hunton and Palmer are women’s residences with single and double rooms.

In keeping with its desire to provide choices in accommodation, the University offers students wishing to immerse themselves in French or German language and culture the opportunity to live in La Maison Francaise and Das Deutches Haus, which are housed in Le Pavillon Bousquet. Le Pavillon Bousquet, also affectionately known as Monastary, is located two blocks from campus. Residency in Le Pavillion Bousquet is offered on an interest basis and is usually occupied by upper year students.

Each residence provides a lounge, kitchenette and coin-operated laundry facilities. All residence rooms are completely furnished, with free cable TV hook up and a telephone (which must be connected and billed to the student on a user-pay basis). Rooms are also wired to the central computer network and for a nominal hook up fee, you will have access to e-mail, student-specific software, the Internet and more.

Prospective students should note that the University cannot be responsible for personal property. Students are strongly advised to ensure personal effects. For various reasons pets, firearms and explosive materials are not permitted in residence.

Withdrawal From Residence
A student wishing to withdraw from the University must begin the process in Student Services by completing a "NOTICE OF ACADEMIC/RESIDENCE WITHDRAWAL” form. Academic withdrawal is not considered complete until the Dean of Students has signed the withdrawal notice. The official date of withdrawal, for purposes of fee administration, will be the date the signed form is received in the Financial Services Office. Note that relevant dates and academic consequences of withdrawal do not coincide with refund dates and are separately outlined in the Academic Regulations section (see especially Regulation 6.55). Non-attendance at classes does not constitute withdrawal.

Residence Opening Dates
(1) Fall Opening: 1999 residences are open to first-year students on Friday, September 10th and for returning students after 10 a.m. Sunday, September 12th.

(2) Christmas and Spring Closing: Students are required to vacate residence twenty-four hours after their last examination has been written.

Non-University Housing
The Student Services Office attempts to maintain for the use of students a list of accommodations available in Sackville and area. Students wishing to live in town are invited to use this information.

This card should be completed and returned to Student Administrative Services along with the $100 Admissions Confirmation Deposit.

We ask that you take the time to answer all the questions on the application, as this helps us to place students appropriately within the residence system. 1st year students residence deposit refund dates:

Former students and students studying abroad will be mailed a residence application at the time of application.
