The Trinity College building at 6 Hoskin Avenue has a Welcome Desk which is visible upon entering the building through the front doors, although access to the 6 Hoskin Ave building is currently limited to the West doors of the College, located on the west side of the building, between the Graham Library and Trinity College.

Staff in the Office of the Dean of Students are available and will connect with students over the summer months to support non-academic student life at the College, foster student well-being, and connect students with resources available through Trinity, the University of Toronto, and beyond.  A member of staff is on-call 24/7 to respond to incidents and emergencies after hours.

All summer residents and guests are expected to show respect for fellow residents and for College property. Many summer residents take summer courses. The College reserves the right to terminate the summer residency immediately for failure to adhere to the Summer Residence Agreement or any of the rules outlined below, for non-payment of summer residence fees and/or for persistent disruptive behaviour.

Students registered in summer courses at the University of Toronto or eligible to register for the following fall are subject to the University’s Code of Student Conduct as administered by the Dean of Students, Trinity College. Students registered or eligible to register for the ensuing fall term at Trinity College are subject to all relevant Trinity College policies.

At the end of the summer, if you are living in residence for the fall and winter, you may request to stay within residence between summer residence and the start of term. If your request is granted, the Office of the Dean of Students will notify you when your fall room is ready, and you will be charged a fee of $50 per night, maximum charge of $500) for your bridging stay.

The electrical system will not support excessive loads.  Excessive use of appliances (air conditioners, microwaves, hair dryers, etc.) may result in power interruptions. The College reserves the right to ask residents to disconnect appliances.

Due to excessive power loads, air conditioners are not permitted in residence as they may cause power interruptions. Any resident found to be using an air conditioner will be asked to remove it immediately, and anyone that does not comply may be asked to leave residence, and will forfeit residence payments. A limited number of fans are available for rent from the Office of the Dean of Students.

In-room cleaning service is not provided.  However, a vacuum cleaner may be borrowed from the equipment closet on the floor for a period of one-hour at a time.  Students are expected to obtain any other cleaning supplies needed for their own rooms.  Bagged garbage and recycling should be brought to your nearest washroom or kitchen garbage area, and facilities staff will collect it from there.  If you require additional garbage bags, please ask at the Welcome Desk.

Bed linen is not included.

U of T students may use their UTORid to connect to the U of T wifi network.  Internet connection by way of an Ethernet cable is also an option. If you do not have your own Ethernet cable, you may purchase one from the Welcome Desk. Ethernet cable adaptors are also available for sale at the Welcome Desk.

Download of illegal material is strictly prohibited. The College receives notifications from the internet provider when these materials are being downloaded, and reserves the right to terminate the summer residency immediately for failure to adhere to this regulation.

There are kitchenettes throughout the residence. Kitchenware is not provided. Fridges are communal so please clearly label and date your food. Unlabelled food may be thrown out. Each resident must wash their own dishes promptly and ensure the kitchen is cleaned after use (the cleaning staff will empty the garbage but is not responsible for dishes or food left out).  A limited supply of bar fridges can be rented for the Summer for $75 (plus tax).

App/card operated washers and dryers are located in the basement of each residence building. You can reload your laundry app with funds in the app itself. Locate and download the Coinamatic CleanPay Mobile app in your appstore. Laundry cards can be obtained from the card dispensing machine in the laundry room of St Hilda’s College. There is no refund of any balance remaining on the card.

A single room may be occupied ONLY by the person to whom it is rented. Guests are not permitted without prior written permission from the Office of the Dean of Students.  If a room has more than the allotted occupancy at any time, the person reserving the room will be informed in writing and charged double the room rate for the total duration of their stay.

Due to the ongoing construction of the Lawson Centre of Sustainability, no parking within Trinity College is available for residents. There are metered parking spaces across St. Hilda’s Residence for visitors needing temporary parking. For other alternative paid parking spaces on campus during the summer, please check the University of Toronto’s Transportation Services website. 

No cats, dogs, or other pets may be kept in residence rooms.  Exceptions will be made for service animals for students with registered disabilities, following discussion with the Dean’s Office.

Repairs and renovations may occur over the summer.  If your room is affected, you will be notified and, if necessary and if possible, given a temporary room. Notice of major projects will be posted at the Welcome Desk.

This is an exciting time for the Trinity Community as the construction for the Lawson Centre for Sustainability will continue this summer until its completion in 2026. Although the construction site is located across the street from St. Hilda’s College, regrettably due to this, there may be disturbances such as noise, vibrations, dust during construction hours only (as permitted by the City of Toronto Bylaws) and bright lights (at night) which is beyond the College’s control. Nonetheless, we commit to keeping you informed of developments and advocate for residents, so impact is kept at a minimal level.
