New College Summer Residence General Info Booklet
Currently we are not giving tours. Please have a look at our Photos section.
During the summer, we open our doors to the general public. You do not have to be a University of Toronto student.
You must be 18 years of age or over to book a room. If you are under the age of 18, please email summer.newcollege@utoronto.ca if you require accommodation.
Please go to the “Book A Room” section of this website and follow the instructions.
To calculate your rate, you would multiply the monthly daily rate for your room type times the number of nights you wanted to stay consecutively. Since your stay would be over 29 nights, there will be no accommodation tax.
You can reserve a room for a month starting any day of the week. You do not need to arrive on the first of the month. For example, you can reserve to stay from June 3 to July 1 (check-out July 2) which is a total of 29 nights and still get the monthly daily rate.
To calculate your rate, you would multiply the weekly daily rate for your room type times the number of nights you wanted to stay consecutively. Since the stay is under 29 nights, accommodation tax of 13% will apply.
The 2024 Summer Session is May 6 to August 17 2024 a total of 103 nights. To calculate your rate, you would multiply the sessional daily rate for your room type times 103 nights. Note: If you are on the sessional, your entire balance is due by arrival (May 6,2024) (less the deposit paid).
For those who booked 29 nights or more (Monthly rate), the nights from your Check-In date to the end of that month is due on your Check-In Date. Then subsequent monthly payments are due on the 1st of each month by 5:00 p.m. EST until your Account Balance is zero (paid in full). (For Current New College Residents, your Check-In Date is considered to be May 1, 2024). To see what is due on your Check-In Date for monthly rate stays, see this Monthly.pdf file and first go to your Category coloured column (i.e. Current New College Resident (green) OR Student (blue) OR Non-student (orange)) and then go down to your Check-In Date and beside it you will find what is due on your Check-In Date. On this sheet, further down, you can also see what you will then need to pay on June 1 (again go to your category coloured column and June 1) OR just pay your Account Balance if it less and repeat this each month until your Account Balance is zero (paid in full).Yes, however, you will be charged the monthly daily rate. You would pay the number of nights to the end of the first month on arrival (at the monthly daily rate) and then you would pay your subsequent rent on the 1st of each month until your balance is settled.
If you are staying 28 nights or under, accommodation tax of 13% will be charged. There is no accommodation tax if you are staying 29 nights or more.
The double room daily rates listed on the website are for the double room (which have two single beds in it). You will have to divide this by two if you want the per person rate. Please note that we do not arrange roommates for double rooms. There is a maximum of 2 people for a double room.
The Wilson Hall Front Desk at 40 Willcocks Street (where everyone checks-in) is open 23 hours everyday! It will be closed each day from 3:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. and during emergencies. The front entrance is locked each night at 10 p.m. however, there is a buzzer on the outside and once you identify yourself, the Front Desk staff will let you in. If you are arriving between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m., you can call the Wilson Hall Front Desk (416-978-8877) to let them know that you will be arriving between 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. to make arrangements and to ensure that staff will be waiting for you when you arrive.
