General Eligibility Requirement

To qualify for residency at St. Andrew's Hall, the applicant must be a full-time student (9 credits per term) at the University of British Columbia or at an affiliated college. (Undergraduate students must be registered in winter session for a minimum of  9 credits in each of Term I and Term II or equivalent as defined by UBC or the colleges. Graduate students must get confirmation of full time status from the Faculty of Graduate Studies.)

Distance Education courses that do require classroom attendance will not be considered.

  • Security deposits and first month's fees are to be paid within the time specified in the letter/e-mail approving the residence application.

Priority

  • Since St. Andrew's Hall is a college of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, priority is given to Presbyterian theology students and others from our congregations.
  • Priority will be given to leases for twelve months or longer for all suite types.
  • Priority will be given to existing residents of St. Andrew's Hall who apply before February 15th for the next academic year.   However, St. Andrew’s Hall reserves the right to refuse housing applications from existing residents.
  • Townhouses are designed to meet the needs of families.  Priority will be given to families with children (maximum of two).

  • Studio Apartments are for single occupancy only.

Co-Ed Quad Accommodations

  • There is no guarantee of single-gender occupancy.
  • Residence in the quads does not create the relationship between tenant and landlord. A licensee-licensor relationship exists. St. Andrew's Hall reserves the right to request a student to withdraw from quad residence on twenty-four hours' notice where circumstances appear to the Dean to warrant such action.
  • All Quad applicants will be considered individually.  St. Andrew's Hall will attempt to honour requests for roommates, which will be best facilitated by all completed applications being received together. Only requests made at the time of application will be considered.  However, there is no guarantee that roommate requests can be accommodated.

St. Andrew's Hall has been a wonderful place not just for me to attend university but to grow as a person. Some of my most important friendships and life experiences started here and I always look forward to coming back each school year. My day-to-day life is made so much better not just because St. Andrew's Hall is really close to everything I need as a student, but because I have an incredibly supportive community around me. Thank you so much to St. Andrew's Hall for giving me and other students such a welcoming place to live.
