Summer Residence

Residence bookings are managed by two separate departments, depending on the client:

• SMC Residence is responsible for all student residence bookings.
• Conference Services is responsible for all external bookings, including school groups, language camps, and conferences.

If you are an external group looking to book space for the summer, please contact our Conference Services Office by emailing usmc.bookings@utoronto.ca.

If you are a student and have questions about summer residence after reading the information below, please email smc.residence@utoronto.ca.

Summer Residence

The SMC Residence is delighted to accommodate students through the summer months with the flexibility to suit your needs. To be eligible for summer housing, you must be willing to stay for either:

• Half summer term only
  • First Term: May 3, 2026 to June 25, 2026
  • Second Term: Dates July 3, 2026 to August 17, 2026
• Full summer term
  • May 3, 2026 to August 17, 2026

Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate short-term or custom-length stays in summer residence. We do not rent rooms on a nightly or weekly basis, only for the half term or the full term.

Summer Residence Spaces

Summer residents are housed in the Historic Houses. Students may be offered a room in an additional residence depending on demand.

Summer Residence Rates for 2026:

• Standard Single – Rooms used as singles during the academic year
• Deluxe Single – Rooms used as doubles during the academic year
• *Double Room – Students must notify the Dean’s Office via email if they want a double room, and indicate their requested roommate. The Office of Residences and Student Operations does not facilitate roommate matching for the summer term.

Please note: Meal plans are not mandatory during the summer term sessions. The rates listed above do not include meal plans or flex dollars. Priority for Deluxe Single and Standard Double rooms will be given to residents staying for the full term.

Students can visit residence.utoronto.ca and follow the links to the SMC Summer Residence Application. The application is open to all University of Toronto students and students enrolled in a recognized Canadian University.
