- Hot meals that change daily
- Live cooking station where food is cooked in front of you. Each night is different, i.e., pasta bowls, fancy salad bowls and burritos.
There is also a mini convenience store with snacks and last-minute items like toothbrushes and detergent.
Residence Parking
Students living in residence will have access to Lot 1 and do not have to use WebAdvisor to order their parking pass. Parking registration and pick-up will take place in GH110 at the University of Guelph-Humber Orientation and the first two weeks of class.
Applying to residence
3 important things to remember:
- You cannot apply to residence until you have an offer of admission.
- Once you have your offer of admission, apply as soon as possible. Space is allotted on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Applying is a two-step process that can take longer than a week to complete. Don’t leave it until the last minute. More details will be sent with your offer of admission.
Please note: Priority will be given to international students that require residence. Students are encouraged to apply for residence as soon as possible, as our system tracks the order in which students submit their application, and spaces will be offered to eligible students in that order.
