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 2023 Summer Session is May 5 to August 26, 2022 a total of 113 nights. To calculate your rate, you would multiply the sessional daily rate for your room type times 113 nights. If you are paying sessional, your entire balance is due on arrival (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 April 29, 2023). 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.

There is no free or reserved parking on campus. There are Pay parking lots in the area and there are many University of Toronto pay parking lots across campus. The closest to pay parking lot to New College is at Harbord St. and Spadina Ave (in the lower level of the Graduate House). Enter from Harbord Street. The address is 42 Harbord Street (the alley behind Graduate House). You will pay the meter for as long as you need. PLEASE NOTE FOR OVERNIGHT PARKING: on the meter, you will need to keep hitting the button on the machine a number of times until it reaches the daily limit. For example, if you enter the lot after 4 p.m., and you hit the button only once to overnight max it will show you as covered until 6 a.m. You need to hit the button a couple more times to hit the daily max and it should then cover you until 10 pm the next day. It will cost $10 (from 4 pm to 6 am) and $18 (from 6 am to 10 pm) so about $28 total for overnight parking.
