In Residence Life, we work with you to help develop the skills needed to become an independent individual.

By promoting your personal and academic growth, we extend the educational experience beyond the classroom and lecture halls. The best part is that you get to choose how you wish to be involved.

Getting involved in residence is easy. Whether you enjoy social activities with your friends, helping others with academics, being part of the team or making changes for everyone by being active in student leadership, it’s all here and it’s all for you.

Living in residence, you will also learn how your contributions help develop a unique and diverse experience. Our students from across the globe can help develop your knowledge of different cultures, languages and histories and allow you to see how you fit into the campus community.

Residence community

When moving into residence you are offered the opportunity to be a part of a welcoming community that embraces the unique experience of our students and fosters a culture of inclusivity. This is achieved through the implementation of programming focused on wellness, academics, diversity, citizenship and interpersonal development.

Residence orientation

Our residence orientation is designed to assist you in your transition to Seneca Polytechnic and prepare you for success. Transitioning to life at a post-secondary institution means more independence and more responsibility. If you’re like most students, you are probably looking forward to the adventure. Residence orientation aims to calm your nerves and helps familiarize you with campus and your community. Orientation begins with your move into residence. Once settled, you’ll be introduced to several programs including an introduction to all of Seneca’s Student Services and support programs. In addition to these sessions, we also include many social events and activities both on and off campus. You’ll feel confident starting your first day of school, knowing your way around campus with your new friends.
