Are you arriving earlier than January 5 and want to join us for airport pick-up?
Arriving after January 5? Students arriving after January 5 must arrange their own transportation. Please review the information in the Arriving to Campus section below to learn more about the recommended options for scheduling private transportation. |
Arriving to Campus | Graduate, Durham, and any student not joining us for our Airport Shuttle must arrange their own transportation. Students can independently arrange transportation via many convenient options. Please find more information below. Private Shuttle options: We recommend arranging transportation at least one week prior to departure. Please note that students are responsible for paying for independently scheduled transportation. Toronto Pearson recommended travel options. Durham students also can travel from Pearson Airport to their accommodation by Taxi, Uber, or public transportation, as they wish. |
On-Campus Residence Move-in Dates | If you have booked and paid for a room in our on-campus residence, please contact our housing department to determine your move-in dates. |
Living off-campus | If you are living off campus, start your housing search as soon as you have accepted your offer and received your Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL). Visit the off campus housing website for useful resources, including a list of important tips for international students during their house search. Due to high demand, finding off-campus accommodations can be challenging if you wait until the last moment to start your housing search. Arriving to Peterborough or Oshawa without permanent/temporary accommodation is not recommended. Finally, please be careful with rental scams and do not hesitate to contact us or off campus housing for support. |
