Important Considerations

As you begin browsing the Residence options at the links below, keep the following things in mind:

• You are not automatically placed in Lakehead University Residence. You must complete and submit a Residence registration form online.
• Once your residence registration is complete (including the form and submission of residence down payment), you will receive a residence contract with your room assignment. Please read it carefully.
• Lakehead University does not offer on-campus housing for families.
• Lakehead offers on-campus housing on the Thunder Bay and Orillia campuses. In Barrie, Lakehead partners with an off-campus housing provider called Georgian Green.
