  Is there visitor parking?

  There are a number of paid parking spots available at the residence building. Please see the parking page for more information.

  How do I get an income tax receipt?

  Residence fees cannot be claimed on income tax returns. The only claim that is allowed is $25 for the year as per the Ontario government.

  What if my son or daughter plans to use OSAP to pay for residence?

  We do not accept deferrals for residence fees or meal plan payments. We suggest that all students review the residence rates and payment deadlines and take them into consideration before applying to residence. Failure to meet the payment deadlines will result in the student forfeiting his/her bed in residence.

  My son or daughter is only 17, are the rules different for students under 18?

  All of the rules and regulations outlined in the residence agreement and residence handbook will apply to all students, regardless of age.

  How are roommate conflicts handled?

  If any of our residents are having challenges or concerns in residence, they are encouraged to speak to one of the residence staff members. Our staff are fully trained to deal with any issue that may arise and will work to help every resident in any way they can.

  Can a student be evicted from residence if he/she does not do well academically?

  A resident must be registered as a full-time student in order to remain eligible to live in residence. Should a student be unsuccessful in completing a term at Lambton College, he/she will be required to leave residence as well.

  Who do I contact if I am concerned about the well being of my son or daughter in residence?

  If you have concerns about your student's safety or health, please call and speak to any Residence Front Desk Staff at 519-542-7741 or email info@lambtonresidence.ca.
