Full-time registration is mandatory in order to maintain tenancy in residence. Residence facilities are provided in 16 main residence buildings, which house approximately 2,100 single men and women. Of this number, 300 students are housed in the 10-story co-ed apartment-style Bricker residence. The first floor has facilities for students with special needs. The remaining nine floors have 71 apartment "suites" for single students. Each furnished suite has four single bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchen, living and dining room. Common facilities include television lounge, games room and study room.

University Place residence houses 206 students in 51 apartment-style suites (182 single rooms and 24 beds in shared double rooms). Each apartment has a full kitchen, a full bathroom and a half bathroom, a storage room and a living/dining room. This residence has laundry facilities, bicycle storage and a recreation room.

Laurier Place residence houses 238 students in 76 apartment-style suites. Each apartment-style unit has a full kitchen, full bathroom and a living/dining room. The five buildings that comprise this residence have laundry facilities, storage facilities as well as on-site parking.

Euler and Leupold co-ed residences allow 70 first-year students to choose an "alternative study environment". Students are housed in double-occupancy rooms under stricter noise regulations. The remaining five dormitory-styled buildings provide mainly double-room occupancy, as well as common area facilities such as recreation rooms, lounges, kitchenettes, washrooms, laundry rooms, etc. The bed-study rooms assigned to students are fully furnished. Students are responsible for the care and maintenance of their rooms. A recent addition to Willison Hall provides 72 new single rooms with semi-private washroom facilities as well as Internet connection.

The residences are governed by a residence staff including residence life area co-ordinators and dons (i.e., residence assistants). Each residence has a house council, which represents students' interests in social and recreational activities, building facilities and services, and residence life and disciplinary matters. Students in residence are provided with a Student Handbook, a Residence Handbook and a Residence Hall Agreement, which outline the rules and regulations of residence. Smoking is not permitted in any Laurier residence.

All students living in residence are provided with mail delivery five days per week.

A university meal plan is required for all residence students (except those living in Bricker residence, Laurier Place residence, University Place residence and 209 Regina). This flexible "declining balance" type of meal plan is available for use in the Dining Hall and The Terrace (food court), as well as some other on-campus and off-campus food facilities. Since Bricker residence, Laurier Place residence, University Place residence and 209 Regina offers each student kitchen facilities, a meal plan is not mandatory. (Students may choose to purchase a smaller meal plan if desired. See Food Service Facilities.)

The majority of bed spaces in residence are reserved for first-year students. A limited number of graduate, senior, seminary and exchange students are housed in Bricker residence.
