5.7.1 Residence Experience Deposit

A Residence Experience Deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be paid upon final acceptance to residence. This $500.00 Experience Deposit is only refundable if the student remains in residence for the duration of their Residence Contract and is not responsible for any damages to the residence. The cost of damages, lost keys or outstanding student fees may be deducted from the Residence Experience Deposit.

Cancellations in advance of move-in are subject to the following policies:

If you cancel your residence contract before moving in, you may be eligible for a full or partial refund of your Residence Experience Deposit, in the following circumstances:

  1. If you do not receive admission to an academic program at Concordia University of Edmonton, you may be refunded the deposit provided you submit your cancellation form at least fourteen (14) days before the official move-in date. Proof of non-admittance may be requested by Housing Services prior to providing a refund.
  2. If you are unable to move into residence (or attend Concordia University of Edmonton) you may be refunded the full $500 deposit provided you submit your cancellation as soon as reasonably possible after you become unable to move into residence, and in any event no later than the official move-in date. Medical documentation may be requested by Housing Services prior to providing a refund.
