Housing Cancellation Procedures and Fees

• Those students, who are assigned a space in housing, must cancel their housing by submitting the Housing Cancellation Form. (It is located under Applications and Forms in the top navigation.)
• Students who have moved in to their housing assignment MUST ALSO have their move out confirmed by a member of the Residential Life Staff. Cancellations for these student will not be processed until after the date the student moves out. Any reduction in housing charges for a term (or late cancelation fees if cancelling for a future term) will be based on the date that BOTH the Cancellation form is received AND the date the student actually moves out.

Students who submit a housing deposit for the fall term are not eligible for a housing deposit refund after May 1.

Newly applying resident students who submit a housing deposit for the spring term are not eligible for a housing deposit refund after December 1.

Cancellation Fee and Room Rent Charges for Students Cancelling After the Semester Has Started:
