Our goal while you are living on campus is to provide you with a warm, welcoming environment where you can study, grow and find your community – and perhaps, friends you’ll have for a lifetime.
Olds College has two fantastic housing options, Centennial Village and the College Court Townhouses, located conveniently on campus. The stage of your journey at Olds College will determine the living accommodation that best suits your needs.
Centennial Village features over 400 single private rooms and plenty of shared social and study spaces. Each room is equipped with a private washroom, large closet, double bed and desk.
College Court Townhouses feature 180 rooms. Each unit is furnished with a stove, fridge and freezer, chest freezer, living room furniture, and kitchen table and chairs. Each bedroom has a bed, desk, chair, closet and bookshelf.
Olds College offers two residence options — Centennial Village and College Courts. Students living on campus are required to choose a meal plan. Housing and meal plan costs are based on the full academic year (September to April), but students in single-term programs will only pay for the corresponding term.

We highly recommend early applications. All students registered in an Old College program and assigned an Olds College student ID may apply for residence. This includes eight-week apprenticeship programs.
For students in an Industry Training & Continuing Education Program (ITCE) who have not been assigned an Olds College Student ID, please contact the ITCE or Conference Services for more information on living on campus.
There is a $100 non-refundable fee that is to be paid at the time of application.
At the time of application, each student will pay a $425 security deposit.
Security deposits will be refunded to your student account approximately 4 - 6 business weeks after moving out. To request a refund of your damage deposit, please submit the Refund Request form. A move-out email detailing your responsibilities and a list of charges will be sent to you 30 days prior to your move-out. Failure to meet the responsibilities outlined in the move-out email will result in the associated charges being applied to your account and taken off of your security deposit prior to being released.
Students who do not receive a housing offer will be placed on our waitlist. If we are unable to accommodate you in residence, we will provide you with a refund of your security deposit.
Our application portal is open year-round. Even if we are operating on a waitlist, you will still be able to apply to live in residence.
We will post in the Housing Portal if we are operating with a waitlist for each term.
Students who are placed on our waitlist will be contacted via email if a room becomes available. Once you have received the notification, you will have 24 hours to respond. Applications must be completed in order to go on the waitlist.
