Summer Residence

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

• SMC Residence handles all student bookings.
• Conference Services handles 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.

Students during the Summer

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 (May 7-June 26, or July 2-August 25)
• Full summer term (May 7-August 25)

Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate short-term or custom-length stays in summer residence.

Summer Residence Rates for 2023:

• Standard Single – rooms used as singles during the academic year
• Deluxe Single – rooms used as doubles during the academic year
• Double Room – rooms shared between two residents during the academic year. For Summer Residence, students must notify the Dean’s Office if they want a double room, and indicate their requested roommate. The Dean’s Office 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.

The Summer Residence application will open on February 15, 2023 at 12:00pm.
