Parents and Families
A Safe, Supported Community
Your student’s success, safety, and well‑being are our top priorities. We see families as partners in supporting students as they transition to university life.
Residence is designed with student safety and well‑being at the core. Every residence building includes multiple layers of support. Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, supportive living environment where your student can grow academically, socially, and personally.
You can feel confident leaving them with us:
- Trained staff in every building to handle emergencies, help work through challenges, and offer guidance whenever students need it
- Peer support from live-in student leaders, who create a welcoming and inclusive environment
- A strong focus on wellness and community
- Secure buildings and active staff presence
- Opportunities to get involved in events and build life skills
If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at campusservicecentre@ucalgary.ca.
We encourage parents and families to follow us @ucalgaryres on Instagram. You’ll find key timelines, application reminders, and snapshots and highlights of residence life and events.
