The Presbyterian College Residence is located in the east wing of
the College on the corner of University and Milton streets adjacent
to the McGill campus. It consists of 40 single rooms on three floors
and three apartments. The shared washroom on each floor has multiple
sinks, 2 shower stalls and 2 private toilets. The second floor has
a private bathroom with bath. Note that the rooms are not air-conditioned
but have a ceiling fan. On the main floor there is a residence lounge
/ television room. In the basement there is for residents' use a
large kitchen and a laundry room with two coin-operated washers
and dryers.
Again for the 2009-10 academic year, McGill Residence Services will
rent the 36 rooms on the 3rd and 4th floors. The 3 apartments and
4 single rooms on the 2nd floor continue to be administered by the
College and house theology students. During the 2009-10 academic
year, the college cafeteria will not be in operation. For information
regarding 2009-10 residence fees for theology students, please contact
the college administration.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
Consideration for others is essential
in residence life. Those using radios, televisions, musical instruments,
stereos, etc. must consider the needs of other residents for an
environment conducive to study.
Cooking is not permitted in the
residence rooms. The electric circuits are not suitable for heating
appliances of any kind (such as heaters, kettles, toasters).
Pets and other animals are not permitted
in the Residence.
The College is not responsible for
students' personal property in rooms or storage areas. Rooms should
be kept locked when unoccupied. The residents' privacy will be respected
by the College staff; rooms will not be entered without permission
of the student except in cases of emergency or of building maintenance,
in which cases every attempt will be made to notify the student
concerned beforehand.
Alcoholic beverages consumed in
the residents' rooms are at the discretion of each resident, but
room parties or parties in other areas of the building may not be
held without the permission of the Dean of Residence. Abuse of alcohol
and/or possession of illegal drugs will be considered grounds for
immediate expulsion.
Smoking is not permitted anywhere
inside the residence building.
The College Library is available
for residents of the College for study purposes during the posted
opening
hours. The classrooms may be used by residents in the evening for
study purposes (if not needed for another purpose). The second floor
lounge may be used for special occasions subject to prior approval
by the Dean of Residence or the College Secretary. Residents wishing
to practise musical instruments in the auditorium or classrooms
should obtain prior permission from the office.
Care of the furniture, etc., and
the room itself is the responsibility of each student and any damage
or loss will be assessed against her/him. Furniture may not be removed
without the consent of the Dean and the Building Superintendent.
Posters and memo boards are permitted on the outside of the residents'
doors provided they do not damage the surface of the door, and subject
to the prior approval of the Dean. Damage to other College facilities
will be assessed against the resident(s) concerned.
FIRE AND SAFETY
REGULATIONS
It is imperative that safety and
fire regulations be obeyed. It is the residents' responsibility
to familiarize themselves with the location of fire exits and fire
equipment. Information is posted on the door of each room. Residents
must participate in fire drills. Fire regulations require fire doors
to be closed at all times. Fire doors should never be wedged open
and shoes, boots or any other articles must not be left in hallways
as they may obstruct the path. Deliberate interference with the
fire alarm system is considered serious enough to warrant expulsion.
