Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

Wilfrid Laurier University is committed to the health and safety of its students, staff and faculty. In an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, we have had to make some difficult decisions. The university is requiring all students to move out of Laurier-operated residences at all campus locations by Wednesday, March 18 at 11:59 p.m. We recognize how disruptive this will be as you move out of the space you’ve called home and we’re committed to supporting you through this process.
The information below will guide you through the check-out procedure.
Only under exceptional circumstances will students be permitted to remain in residence beyond Wednesday. Students should consider all options, including staying with relatives or friends.
Students who may be able to remain in residence include:
To see whether your situation warrants an exception or if you require additional assistance, please contact the Department of Residence at housing@wlu.ca.
All students must complete a full and proper checkout. Before you leave, please:
We are aware that you may have questions about your residence and meal plan fees. The university is looking into issuing partial refunds. We will provide you with an update by Wednesday, March 25.
Please note that the Fresh Food Co. will maintain regular hours of operation until the end of day on Friday, March 20. The Terrace will maintain regular hours of operation until Wednesday, March 18 at 4:30 p.m.
Please treat each other with kindness and respect during this stressful time. We understand that this is a difficult and disruptive experience and we appreciate your patience and cooperation. We will do our best to support you in this transition.
