Residence Guarantee

We do not guarantee residence for first-year students. When offering a space in residence, TMU gives priority to first-year students traveling the furthest distance away from our campus.

You can complete a residence application form once you have an active Offer of Admission to TMU. The first round of offers are made in mid-June. Offers continue to be made throughout the summer and school year until the waitlist is exhausted.

Deposit Required

A $50 application fee is required with your application, paid into your MyServiceHub account.

Meal Plans

Meal plans have 2 components:

1. All-you-care-to-eat

PIT Dining Hall (Pitman Hall) and the ILC Dining Hall (International Living/Learning Centre).

Meal plan dollars go toward unlimited access to eat as much or little as you like at the PIT or ILC Dining Halls. Your Student OneCard grants you access to the Pitman and ILC Dining Halls.

You also get $450 to spend at campus eateries like the Hub Café or participating food retailers including Balzac's, Oakham Café and The Met Campus Pub. Purchases are deducted from your flex dollar account in a declining balance.

2. Residence-based meal plans

Pitman Hall (PIT), the International Living/Learning Centre (ILC) and the Daphne Cockwell Health Sciences Complex (DCC).

Pitman Hall and ILC residents are automatically enrolled in the 7-day meal plan. Students in DCC are automatically enrolled in the 5-day meal plan but can upgrade to the 7-day meal plan. If you are living in apartment-style units at Pitman Hall, you will be enrolled in the $1,200 declining balance meal plan but can choose the 5-day or 7-day meal plan to supplement your own cooking.
