Cancel Your On-Campus Housing Assignment
If you are no longer able to join us on campus, our Housing Self-Service module makes it easy for you to cancel your housing assignment.
Cancellation Policy
Our Residence Hall Agreement states that [housing] is binding from the date of occupancy to the end of the current academic year. The agreement period begins at 10:00 a.m. on the day before the first day of classes and ends 24 hours after the resident’s last exam or 5:00 p.m. on the last day of final examinations, whichever is earlier.
A resident who wishes to be released from the Residence Hall Agreement must submit the appropriate housing cancellation form and pay an early housing cancellation fee of $750. This cancellation fee will be waived only upon written submission of documented reasons that verifiably prevent the student from living on campus (mid-year graduation, official University withdrawal, study abroad, student teaching, military service or official University leave of absence).
Residents who wish to appeal the cancellation fee for other verifiable reasons must submit a written appeal via email to the Director of Residential Life and Housing, along with appropriate supporting documentation. Appeals will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Housing Refund Schedule
Any refund of housing fees for a given semester will be determined according to the University’s standard refund schedule in effect, minus any housing deposit and residence hall activity fees, which are non-refundable.
