Undergraduate on-campus housing: Students under the age of 20 that are interested in on-campus housing must apply for undergraduate housing only. On-campus housing arrangements are made through York International. LIMITED SPACE IS AVAILABLE. We cannot guarantee space in a particular building.

Graduate on-campus housing: All the information pertaining to Graduate Housing can be found on their website at: http://www.yorku.ca/stuhouse/yorkapts/.
This website contains information such as layout plans, the application form, rental rates, information about what is supplied to students and what they should bring with them

Off-campus housing: York University has an Off-Campus Housing Service where students are provided with information about how to look for accommodation, their rights as a tenant and listings of available accommodation. There is no charge for this service. www.yorku.ca/och.

The website also provides links to additional housing resources including websites where students can look at vacancies. Off-Campus Housing Service has information about the Tenant Protection Act, lists of what students should know before they rent, and a checklist of things they should consider when looking at various options. They also have information on short-term accommodation, in case students need a place for a couple of days while they look for accommodation, or if they are in the process of moving between apartments. They are located at N200 Student Services Center and can also be reached by phone at 416-736-5141.

If students plan on looking for a place once they arrive to Canada please note that there are places at York University and also other areas in Toronto that provide short-term housing. For a listing of short-term housing options please visit: http://international.yorku.ca/intlstud/new/shortterm.htm

The Canadian immigration law allows students of partner institutions who are taking part in an exchange program for less than six months (one semester) to come to Canada without a study permit. Students must however apply to get a temporary resident visa. However, a temporary resident visa will not grant you the right to work on campus.

Health insurance is mandatory for all international exchange students. Students are covered by the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP). Secondary health insurance plans (YFS, Atkinson’s Association Benefits and the Graduate Students’ Health plan) are also automatically charged to students. Students with proof of similar coverage may apply to opt out of the secondary plan. Generally the secondary plan can cover dental and non emergency medical care. Students should review the information on each plan carefully.
