Holiday closure: The King's campus is closed from end of day December 20 to January 2.
Everyone – students, faculty, and staff members – has a role to play in making the King’s campus a positive experience for all. The Dean’s Office has a responsibility to the King’s community to respond if students disregard the College Code of Conduct, the General Regulations or the Residence Guidelines.
All residents are responsible for fully informing themselves of the residence rules and policies, which are provided below. In general, if you are considerate of the people with whom you live, and are aware of your actions, you will have no shortage of good times.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to speak with your don or the dean.
The following are some of our frequently-cited policies, which many find helpful. For a full list of the residence polices, please consult the Academic Calendar.
Fall 2024 Move In: Sunday, September 1 at 9 a.m.*
Fall 2024 Move Out: 24 hours after your last exam/paper
Winter 2025 Move In: Sunday, January 5 at 10 a.m.
Winter 2025 Move Out: 24 hours after your last exam/paper
*Students will be advised of their designated move-in time via email from the residence team. When these move-in appointment times have been set, they can be found in your eRez profile.
Students are required to leave 24 hours after their last academic commitment. Please do not make travel plans until your exam schedule is known. Should you need to stay in residence beyond the 24-hour allowance (either for winter holidays or at the end of the year), you must submit the Request for Extension form in the Residence Portal.
All extension requests are granted at the discretion of the dean.
The university is not responsible for the theft or loss of personal property due to fire, water, or any other cause. Please store your valuables in a safe location and keep your doors and windows closed and locked whenever you are not in your room. Please insure your belongings against loss or damage. You may be covered under your parents’ home policy – please check the terms of their policy.
In the event of damage to a residence room, a charge will be issued based on this Residence Damages Cost List [PDF]. The costs listed here are baseline prices and subject to increase based on the severity of the damage.
Parking is in short supply at King’s and we are unable to offer parking to residence students. If you bring your car, you will be responsible for finding alternate parking off campus.
If you are intending to withdraw from residence before the completion of the full term of your agreement, please contact the Residence Office via email (residence@ukings.ca). We would like to have the opportunity to address any questions or concerns you might have that are impacting your experience living in residence. We can also provide you with detailed information about the withdrawal process, ensure you have the necessary withdrawal forms, and guide you through the withdrawal process to avoid any unnecessary fees and penalties.
You will be required to fill out a Request to Cancel/Withdraw form in eRezlife (ukings.erezlife.com). This form must be completed at least 10 days prior to your departure, and you will be responsible for your residence and meal plan fees until at least the approved move-out date.
Any student who withdraws from residence prior to the end of the agreed upon term will be held responsible for their residence fees, including the meal plan fees, for the entire agreed upon term, or until a replacement acceptable to the University is found to fill the vacancy. There is a $175.00 administrative fee levied on every resident that withdraws from an assigned room prior to the completion of the agreed upon term. Failure to submit notice of withdrawal prior to departure will result in a non-refundable $250 improper check-out fee.
We recognize that certain situations may warrant exceptions to the full fee responsibility upon early withdrawal. Exceptions to the full fee responsibility may be possible if the reason for your early withdrawal includes any of the following exceptional circumstances:
• Early graduation
• Co-op placement
• Internship or practicum for academic purposes outside of the metro area
• Medical withdrawal (substantiated by medical documentation within 30 days of departure)
• Other reasons acceptable to the university
The University shall have sole discretion in determining what constitutes valid grounds for an exception to the full fee responsibility resulting from an early withdrawal from residence.
At the time of departure, all assigned residence rooms must be in the condition that they were in when the student moved into the space. Any significant cleaning, damages, or biohazard clean-up will result in fines being applied to the student’s account.
