Appeal Process
Students who move out of residence early may lodge an appeal requesting an increased refund if they believe there are extenuating circumstances. An example would be a student who is forced to withdraw from University because of sudden illness. An email officially launching the appeal should be sent to the Manager of Housing Admissions and Administration at housing@brocku.ca. Documentation should be provided supporting the reason for the appeal. Documentation can be delivered:
- attached to your email;
- faxed to 905-688-0797;
- brought to room R224 in DeCew Residence;
- marked confidential and mailed to:
Manager Housing Admissions and Administration
Housing Services
Brock University
1812 Sir Isaac Brock Way
St. Catharines, ON
L2S 3A1
A successful appeal will result in the student being charged the per diem rate for the nights they were assigned to a residence room. They will forfeit their $600-deposit, as will anyone who withdraws more than 30 days after their room assignment is sent out.
Troubleshooting tips
Students must login using their campus ID, which is the six-digit letter and number combination (e.g. ab14cd)
You are on the wrong tab. At the top of the page, click on the “Applicant and Student Self Serve” tab to see the icon for the residence application.
Usually the residence channel is on the right side. It has a blue bar with Residence in white at the top and the “Apply to Residence” icon below. If you can’t see it on the right side, scroll down or check on the left side of the page. It’s possible the icon has been minimized so you will only see the blue bar with Residence and no picture. Click on the white arrow in the blue bar to open up the channel and see the icon. If you still can’t see the channel, go to the top right side of the page and click Add More on the menu bar. You will see any inactive channels that can be added to the page.
