Upper Year Residence Guarantees

Undergraduate Indigenous Student Guarantee

Actively enrolled students who successfully complete the required application and application fee by the upper year application deadline, meet minimum returning eligibility requirements, and self-identify as an Indigenous student*, will be guaranteed a room in residence for the academic year. Room and roommate preferences are not guaranteed. 

*Preference will be given to candidates who self-identify as Indigenous. Recognizing that there are a variety of terms that potential candidates may use to self-identify, the University uses the term “Indigenous” in this search, which forms part of the U of T Response to Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to encompass the people of Turtle Island, including those who identify as First Nations, Métis, Inuk (Inuit), Alaska Native, Native American, and Native Hawaiian people. Questions regarding eligibility can be directed to the Residence Services Desk at resdesk.utm@utoronto.ca or the UTM Indigenous Centre
