Acceptance Process

1. Registering to Apply

The first step to confirming your room in Student Housing is to register. When you register, we will ask for some basic information so we can contact you throughout the acceptance process. Once registered, you will be able to create an application for the term you wish to apply for.

Start by clicking Apply Now for the housing of your choice.

Creating an application

Once you have registered, the second step is to create an application. We have three application terms:

  • Academic Year (September - April)
  • Winter Semester (January - April)
  • Summer Semester (May - August)

Once you have selected a term you will be required to fill in some personal information that we need for the application process.

2. Paying Your Deposit and Payment Methods

As a final step to creating your application, you will need to pay your security deposit. This $250 deposit validates your application and it also serves as a damage deposit during your stay.We do not accept credit card payments for deposits. We accept the following payment methods:

  • Certified cheque (by courier)
  • Bank draft (by courier)
  • Money order (by courier)
  • Cash (in person)
  • Interac (in person)

If paying by certified cheque, bank draft or money order please make payable to “CLC - NVIT” and send it to:

NVIT Student Housing
4165 Belshaw Street
Merritt, BC, V1K 1R1

At the end of your stay with us, your deposit will happily be returned to you after you move out — less any damage or cleaning charges.

Getting accepted

If you have paid your deposit, you are ready to be accepted. This acceptance doesn’t happen right away! Our first round of acceptance is completed in early April for the academic year, early November for the winter semester, and late March for the summer semester. All of our acceptance processes are done through email, so once you have been accepted you will receive an email with your assigned room type, as well as instructions on how to move your application forward in the process.

3. Completing your Acceptance

Once you have received our acceptance email informing you that you have been given a room, we will need a little more information from you to serve you better and we will also need you to sign the Student Housing Agreement.
Because you now know the room type you have been accepted into, you will be able to prepare to make your payment. Please see the Rates page for your associated fees and to use our rates calculator.

Making payment

Once you have completed your online paperwork we will have all the necessary information to send you an email outlining your associated fees. This email will give you a line-by-line breakdown of the charges that will be placed on your account. We will place these charges on your account in August to account for any fluctuations that may occur. Your first payment for the academic year is due on June 15. If you are accepted after June 15, it is due as soon as possible to confirm your room. Your space in Student Housing is not guaranteed until we receive the first payment.

Payment Methods

We do not accept credit card payments for deposits.

  • Certified cheque (by courier)
  • Bank draft (by courier)
  • Money order (by courier)
  • Cash (in person)
  • Interac (in person)
