Temporary Accommodation

You may need temporary accommodation while looking for long-term housing. Some hotels offer discounts to VIU students for longer stays. You may need to present identification and your VIU enrollment letter. Contact Off-Campus Housing for current rates and call hotels in advance for availability.

Students also use the Painted Turtle Guesthouse, Airbnb, Expedia and Vrbo for short-stays. 

During the summer, VIU on-campus accommodation has 'Summer Residence Hotel' spaces. Please click through the link for more information.
