2022-23 Residence and COVID Prevention Measures

We will continue to consult with public health officials to determine the necessary precautions required in our residence operations for 2022-23. We remain committed the health and safety of our residence community in the COVID-19 environment. For more COVID-19 information, visit the COVID-19 Student FAQs.

King’s Residence prioritizes the health and safety of our residents. We will continue to work closely with public health officials to monitor developments related to COVID-19 and to ensure our residence practices are in keeping with the evolving COVID situation. We will keep students and families informed about changes and decisions as those are finalized over the summer months.
 

Residents placed in Wemple, Alumni Court, and Townhouses will be assigned to double room, in most cases. Those who require single room consideration for COVID-related or other needs can submit a single room request form through the Online Residence Application system.

We know that you and your family are considering many factors in the decision to live on campus. Residence and Campus Life Office is committed to providing the best residence experience possible for you, in keeping with evolving COVID-19 safety precautions. We are excited about our plans for September and can’t wait to welcome you this fall.

Application

Living in residence offers another dimension to your King’s experience. Living close to all the resources at King’s and living with classmates is an excellent way to thrive academically. Living in residence places you next door to campus resources and facilities, but more importantly, it is a supportive learning environment. We know that your first-year experience is an important time of transition and we are here to help you achieve your goals. And we know upper year students often want to continue living in the supportive residence environment that the Epworth Houses and King's Commons can offer. In addition to the full-time staff in the Residence and Campus Life Office, Residence Assistants, Residence House Coordinators, Residence Sophs, and King’s Academic Peer Mentors are all here to offer peer support.

We are proud of the diversity of our residence students. Students from many backgrounds and many countries make their home with us. Diversity is celebrated and respected in the residence community.
