Frequently Asked Questions

Amenities

Is there high-speed internet service?
Yes. All suites have a wireless access point to transmit our high speed fiber optic internet signal. Connect to the network by choosing your suite location. This service is FREE to use.
Who is responsible for cleaning the suite?
You and your roommates are responsible for cleaning your suite and for purchasing all the necessary cleaning supplies. There are periodic inspections to ensure that suites are being maintained.
Are there laundry facilities onsite?
Yes. There are coin-operated washers and dryers on the first and fourth floors of each residence building.
What happens if I get sick or there is a medical emergency?
There is a walk-in medical clinic across the street from Georgian Green. Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH), a large regional hospital, is located beside Georgian College and is a 15-minute walk or five-minute drive from the residence. Barrie also has 911 emergency dispatch services.

Applying for a Room

When should I apply for a room at the Georgian Green Residence?
You should apply for a room as soon you get your formal acceptance from Georgian College. The 257 rooms at Georgian Green are offered on a first come, first served basis.
How do I apply for a room at Georgian Green Residence?
It’s easy to reserve a room. First, complete the eight page lease application form, then forward it to the Property Management office along with a deposit of one month’s rent. It’s that simple.
Do I need a guarantor if I am 18 years of age or older?
Yes. All applicants require a guarantor, regardless of their age.
When will I find out if I have a room at Georgian Green?
You will receive notification by letter within a week of the date that your application and payment are received at the Residence Management office. You may want to send your application by Xpress Post or courier so that you can track the delivery date.
What happens to my application deposit if I don’t get a room because Georgian Green is full?
Your full application deposit will be returned by mail. Your application forms will be kept on file and your name will be placed on a waiting list. If a room becomes available, you can re-send your deposit at that time.
What happens if I change my mind before I move in?
Once an application has been accepted, you are obligated for all rental payments until the lease term ends or another student is found for your room, whichever happens first. The Residence Management office should be notified as quickly as possible so that staff can help you to find a replacement.

Meals

Is a meal plan available?
Georgian Green Student Rez does not offer a meal plan, but there is a pre-paid student meal service available through Food Services at Georgian College. Each Georgian Green suite does have a full kitchen, so meals can be prepared and enjoyed at home.

Rent & Parking

Do I need to pay my full rental term in advance?
No. After your first two deposits are paid, the remainder of your rent can be paid on a monthly basis by completing our Pre-Authorized Payment form (PAP) which can be found in the APPLY NOW section of this website.  The first rental deposit (the equivalent of one month’s rent) is due with your rental application; a second rental deposit (also the equivalent of one month’s rent) is due on or before the first day of the month before the college semester starts (August 1 for September; December 1 for January; April 1 for May).

These two deposits must be paid by certified cheque or money order if you are sending everything by mail (post); payments by debit or credit cards are accepted if made in person at the Residence Management office. We cannot process or accept e-transfer or wire transfer payments.

Can I pay rent by credit card?
Yes, but there is an additional $25.00 service fee for each rental payment paid by credit card. So, for six rental payments, the total in service fees would be $150.00. Payments by credit cards are accepted if made in person at the Residence Management office. Pre-Authorized Payment (PAP) is also another payment option.
Why must my guarantor provide a credit card number?
Your guarantor supplies a credit card number and authorization to pay for past due rent, damage repairs, cleaning fees and other miscellaneous charges. This process is more convenient than other financial methods. The card will be used to collect any unpaid fees, but an invoice with a due date is always sent before any charges are applied to a credit card. This gives you a chance to first pay by another method.
Do I still have to pay rent if I move out?
Yes, you will have to pay rent until the end of your lease term, or until a new person is found to move into your room. If you are thinking of moving out, please inform the Residence Management office as soon as possible. Staff can help you find someone to take your room.
How much does it cost to park at Georgian Green?
Residence parking is $40.00 per month, with the entire term payable in advance.

  • 8 months of parking totals: $320
  • 12 months of parking totals: $480

Payment is due at the beginning of your lease term. A pro-rated refund is available if parking is cancelled at any time.

Security & Maintenance

What type of security is provided?
We have 24 hour, 7 days a week on site staff. The buildings require a key to gain entry and you also require a key to enter your suite as well as your private bedroom.

The property and each building are protected with the use of digital recording video surveillance cameras. All visitors are required to use the intercom system and students have the ability to allow their guests entry this way.

Are there Resident Assistants who live on the premises?
Yes. There are two Resident Assistants in each building.
What do I do if something needs to be fixed?
You should complete a Maintenance Report. The form can be filled out online, from the Resident Assistant or at the onsite Residence Management office. This form is given to the residence’s maintenance crew. Depending on the problem, repairs are usually completed within 72 hours.

Suitemates

How do you match suitemates?
When you sign up to live at the residence, we ask you to complete a comprehensive questionnaire that asks all about you, from your age, hobbies and music preferences to your study habits and whether you are a nighthawk or an early bird. This information helps management in arranging the most compatible suite teams possible.
When will I find out who I’m rooming with?
Suite assignments are revealed on move-in day, in case there are any last minute changes.
Can I share my suite with a friend if I make the request in advance?
Yes, as long as your friend also indicates on his/her application form that he/she would like to live with you.
I just found out that someone I know is moving into residence, and I’ve already submitted my application form. Can we still room together?
Yes, provided you make a request before residents start to move in, and both of you send an email with this request to the Residence Management office
Can men and women share a suite?
Yes, but only if everyone in the suite agrees and submits a signed letter to the Property Management office stating that they want to live in a co-ed suite. Otherwise, apartment teams are all-female or all-male. Residence buildings are co-ed.
What if I don’t like my suitemates? Can I switch rooms?
Every effort is made to ensure suitemates are as compatible as possible. Each problem is addressed on an individual basis, taking into account students’ concerns and rooming availability.

Suites & Rooms

Is the suite furnished?

A microwave oven is not included… but you can bring a microwave and/or a mini fridge to be kept in your own bedroom.
