Campus housing eligibility
- Campus Housing Applicants must have a valid offer of admission to a Yukon University certificate, diploma or degree program. First-year students are required to upload their Letter of Acceptance with the Campus Housing application.
- To live in a Campus Housing unit at Yukon University, a student must be enrolled as a full-time student, in a minimum of a certificate program for domestic students, and at a minimum, a diploma program for international students. The student must also maintain full-time status during their stay to maintain eligibility.
Prioritization
Applications are processed according to the Campus Housing Intake Policy.
An offer of Campus Housing accommodation will be made to all incoming First Year Students on a first-come, first-served basis, in accordance with the following priority list:
- Yukon Community – Indigenous
- Yukon Community – Non-Indigenous
- Northern Community
- Domestic – Outside of Yukon Territory
- International (Not Eligible for Family Housing)
Accessibility needs
Priority consideration is given to students whose ability to attend the University is dependent on securing campus housing as a result of an accessibility need. Such needs may be medical, sensory, physical, cognitive or psychological in nature. The Campus Housing Office will work closely with the Learning Assistance Centre to support your needs, while maintaining your privacy and confidentiality.
Campus Housing contracts are not guaranteed for the length of your program. Contracts range from 4 to 10 months and can span 1 to 3 academic terms.
Your requested contract length cannot exceed the end of your classes (e.g. you cannot contract to June if your classes are ending in April).
You must reapply for each academic year (Fall term is the start of an academic year).

Check your email regularly for an Offer of Accommodation or Waitlist Notification and follow the necessary steps.
Once reviews have taken place, an email will be sent to your YukonU email account with an update. Updates come in the form of Offers of Accommodation, Waitlist Notifications, Renewed Waitlist Notifications or Confirmations of Information/Interest.
Note: Should an Offer of Accommodation be made, you will have a maximum of two weeks to accept the offer by submitting your contract and paying your Hold Fee.
A Waitlist Notification means that your application was considered in the last round of review, but no units were available to make an offer. Waitlisted applications stay in the system for the length of the academic year and are actively reviewed. At least three rounds of review are completed prior to the start of each term. Waitlists are also reviewed each time a unit is prematurely vacated.
Domestic students may apply with their partner, caregiver and/or child/ren. A second adult co-occupant can be listed if their presence is as a secondary caregiver and is required for you to attend your program. The addition of another family member is based on approval from the Campus Housing Office is subject to an additional fee.
If requesting shared accommodation, you can request a specific roommate(s) in your application. It is recommended that the listed roommate also list you on their application to demonstrate mutual agreement of the request. Campus Housing will make their best effort to approve roommate requests.
