Eligibility
General eligibility
Applications for on-campus housing are open to all students in eligible programs who meet the following criteria as of their move-in date:
- They are at least 17 years old or have graduated high school
- They are enrolled in full-time or part-time studies (in-person and/or digital)
Students enrolled in an apprenticeship, practicum, internship, co-op or research project through their program are eligible for housing.
Priority consideration
NIC will offer priority to students who are:
- Indigenous
- Current and former youth in care
- Enrolled in full-time studies or taking at least nine academic credits
Additional consideration
Minors with accelerated academic progression will be considered on a case-by-case basis in cooperation with their legal guardian.
In some cases, a student may be enrolled in less than nine credits for reasons related to human rights. Students taking fewer than nine credits may be considered full-time if they have approved accommodations from the Department of Accessible Learning Services (DALS).
Please note: ElderCollege and Youth Academy are not eligible for student housing.
