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.
- Upon cancellation, students will receive a refund of their $100 damage deposit (less the cost of any damages incurred if they have already moved into the residence halls).
