Upper Year Residents

At St. Jerome’s University, we believe that upper year students are an important part of the residence experience. They provide informal peer mentorship and leadership to our first year population and help to advance the traditions and culture of our community.

 

 

Eligibility

In order to be eligible for readmission to residence, a student must demonstrate that they can live cooperatively within the University community and must have cooperated with the Residence Operation as follows: 

  

Administrative Eligibility 

  

While in residence, a student must have cooperated with all residence procedures. For example, a student who has not cooperated with behavioral, disciplinary, and administrative guidelines may be denied re-admittance. Students who do not meet fee payment deadlines may also be denied re-admittance. All bills owed to the Residence must be paid in full before any application will be processed. 

  

Academic Eligibility 

  

Each upper year student must complete a minimum of four full course credits within a regular session and be in good standing academically, as defined by the University of Waterloo. Each first year student must complete a minimum of three full course credits within a regular session and be in good academic standing. Co-op students on work term may be permitted to live in residence at the discretion of the Residence Manager. 

  

Involvement Eligibility 

  

In the event that the number of upper year students wishing to return exceeds the number of vacancies determined by the Residence Manager, a student's level of involvement and participation may be used as criteria for readmission. 

  

Please note that the Residence Manager may place limits on the number of returning students in order to accommodate the first year applicant pool.
