Information regarding the 2025 academic year

In August, Memorial University will serve as the Games Village for the 2025 Canada Games, welcoming over 5,000 athletes, coaches, and managers. In preparation, we are taking this opportunity to conduct maintenance across all residences and surrounding grounds. These enhancements will improve our facilities for years to come, ensuring a better living experience for our students. 

There are important reminders regarding the 2025 academic year:  

  • Residence applications are closed for the spring/summer semester. 
  • All students with existing semesterly contracts living in Paton College, Macpherson College, and Guy and Gilbert Courts must move out by the end of the contract date (by April 23, 2025) to allow Memorial to complete required repairs and maintenance.  
  • Students such as those enrolled in Marine Institute and other technical sessions, may stay on campus until June 30, 2025. 
  • If your academic program requires you to be on campus during the spring/summer semester and you are facing housing challenges, we encourage you to reach out to housing@mun.ca for personalized support. 

Looking ahead to fall 2025, we are committed to making your transition back to campus as smooth as possible.  

  • All current students who wish to return in the fall are guaranteed a residence space. 
  • Room renewals were open until Feb. 21 to allow current students to reserve their bed space, with room change opportunities happening in March. 
  • Residences will be fully refreshed and ready for move-in day on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025. 

We appreciate your understanding as we take this next step to improve our residences. We will do everything we can to assist current students in finding alternate accommodations. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
