Email notification has been distributed to all successful applicants for the 2024 lottery.

Your position in the lottery will be held until all available units have been allocated, should anyone decline their lease offering.
The process of application has changed this year, as Community Housing is switching to a lottery system. Applications will be accepted and processed through Mercury. The application can be found in the Mercury Student Portal. As the application is open for six days and is based on a lottery system, there is no need to rush to submit your application on day one.
Only one application is to be filled out for your family/group. Information for all intended occupants must be included.
