GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — StarRez<\/u><\/a>, a global leader in on- and off-campus student housing software, today announced the expansion of its off-campus housing platform, College Pads<\/u><\/a>, into Canada. With 175 leading higher education institutions in the United States already relying on College Pads, the platform will now help institutions in Canada deliver a more seamless on- and off-campus housing experience by streamlining access to verified listings and providing greater visibility and control.<\/p>\n \u201cExpanding College Pads into Canada is an important milestone in our vision to create a more connected housing experience for students everywhere,\u201d said Jason Day, CEO of StarRez. \u201cThe challenges students face in finding safe, reliable off-campus housing are not unique to any one country. By bringing College Pads to Canadian institutions, we’re helping universities extend their housing support beyond campus walls and creating stronger connections between students, institutions, and local housing providers. This expansion reflects our continued investment in solutions that strengthen the entire student housing ecosystem and support student success.\u201d<\/p>\n Across Canada, institutions are taking on greater responsibility for supporting students throughout the complete housing journey, as limited on-campus capacity<\/u><\/a> pushes more students off-campus. At the same time, growing demand and constrained supply are making it increasingly difficult for students to find purpose-built, suitable options. Institutions are now seeking scalable, technology-driven solutions that simplify housing discovery and strengthen connections with local housing providers.<\/p>\n Today, College Pads is widely adopted across U.S. institutions, with over 2.5 million students using the platform each year to search for off-campus housing or find roommates. In Canada, early adopters such as McMaster University and Loyalist College are already leveraging the platform to streamline students\u2019 transition from on- to off-campus living.<\/p>\n \u201cCollege Pads is the premier solution of off-campus housing software,\u201d said Steven Barei, Information System Manager at McMaster University. \u201cIt was a no-brainer to offer our students access to this exceptional, streamlined resource through a partnership with StarRez.\u201d<\/p>\n As College Pads expands into Canada, StarRez is helping institutions deliver seamless access to off-campus housing listings and resources, enabling more tailored and innovative solutions for both students and property managers.<\/p>\n \u201cWhether students are searching for a place to live, reviewing lease agreements or looking for moving tips, College Pads provides practical resources to help them feel more informed and confident throughout the rental housing process\u201d said Dominique Jenkins, Manager of Residences and Housing Operations at Loyalist College.<\/p>\n Through an integrated platform, institutions can showcase curated off-campus housing, strengthening local partnerships while enhancing student wellness, retention, and scalable housing strategies. In addition, College Pads and StarRez host housing fairs to provide a unique opportunity for students to meet local providers face-to-face, helping them make more informed housing decisions.<\/p>\n Canadian institutions and housing providers interested in learning more about College Pads and how it can support their housing strategy can visit http:\/\/www.starrez.com\/collegepads<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n About StarRez<\/strong> Media contact: Caroline Hansen [chansen@wearecsg.com]<\/p>\n GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — StarRez, a global leader in on- and off-campus student housing software, today announced the expansion of its off-campus housing platform, College Pads, into Canada.
