Residence is so much more than a roof over your head–it is your home while you are a student, and it’s where community flourishes! We are very excited to be opening our brand new residence building for Fall 2025. Rooms are organized into four, six, and eight bedroom suites to further support Prairie’s strong community focus. Each suite has a kitchenette and washrooms, and first floor suites have full kitchens reserved for upperclass students.
In addition to its fresh and modern look, the residence is fully accessible. And on cold days, there’s no need for a jacket; the residence building is connected to both the academic building and the dining hall. The residence is equipped with workout rooms, games rooms, communal and study spaces, a barbershop, laundry, and plenty of natural lighting.
We are so grateful to the 500+ donors who have made this new residence possible, including many through the alumni matching campaign, and we are so excited for you, the students, to enjoy this beautiful new building.
For more information about living in residence, please review the Residence Handbook. For suggestions of what to bring, see our what to bring to college list.
Prairie-owned campus housing is available on a first come, first served basis. Priority is given to student families, full-time senior students (3rd & 4th year taking 9 credits or more) and Prairie staff, over single and part-time students. Those interested in applying for Prairie off-campus housing should submit an Off Campus Housing Request Form.
Please note that students must be accepted into a program and must have paid their tuition deposit in order to be considered for housing. Once you have been accepted and paid the required deposit, please submit the Off Campus Housing Request form. If you have any questions, please contact your Admissions Counselor.

We have launched our Campaign for Greater Impact to provide students with the very best learning opportunities and campus facilities for the decades ahead.
In Phase One of this Campaign, we plan to invest in much-needed campus renewal, including: upgraded Infrastructure, a new Student Residence, Cafeteria, Worship Auditorium, and expanded Aviation Training Centre. A modern campus requires an investment that is bold, and even expensive, but each Campaign Project is strategic, and designed to enhance Prairie’s campus and student life experience.
This expansion of PATC’s facility is a key project of Prairie’s Campaign for Greater Impact. It will increase the College’s capacity to train a new generation of Christian aviators to serve God in missions, and also address the growing need for trained pilots in the commercial aviation sector.
Invest in the next generation of missional professionals. Each year Prairie College distributes over $500,000 in scholarships and bursaries to students. We are grateful for each gift that reduces the burden of students’ tuition and allows students to fulfill their God-given professions.
Encourage inmates in five institutions across Alberta to discover or reconnect with Jesus Christ. This fund assists the students studying the Certificate in Bible program with scholarships, resources for classes, and instruction.
Prairie College is educating students to pursue a Biblical foundation for life and career. Your contribution to this fund assists in minimizing the College’s general operating expenses.
