Cancel Housing Assignment

Cancellation Policy

The Terms and Conditions of the university housing contract stipulate that the contract is for the entire academic year. Under this contract, students are financially obligated to the contract until a request to cancel is approved by the University.

The deadline to request to cancel a housing contract is three (3) business days after the University notifies a student of a confirmed housing assignment. Cancellation requests received by this deadline will be granted with no cancellation fee for eligible students.

Freshmen and Sophomores who are subject to the mandatory housing policy are not eligible to cancel unless they will be commuting from the home of their parent or legal guardian. Freshmen and Sophomores who plan to commute must submit a notarized Statement of Student Residence form.

Cancellation requests submitted more than three (3) business days after the University notifies a student of a confirmed housing assignment are subject to the following restrictions:

• Requests to cancel at the end of a semester due to graduation, leave of absence, withdrawal, participation in an approved academic program, or a new marriage/domestic partnership are routinely approved with no cancelation fee.
• All other requests to cancel will generally be approved only if the University has a current waitlist in excess of the total number of available spaces in university housing.
• Requests after the deadline are subject to a $500 cancellation fee.
• Requests to cancel for financial, medical/health or personal/other hardships must be supported with documentation that justifies the cancellation.

Refund of Housing Fees Paid

If a cancellation is completed after the period of residency begins, the student will be entitled to a weekly prorated refund of room fees as indicated below. Cancellation fees and housing deposits are not refundable and will be deducted from any refund amount.

• Week 1 = 94%
• Week 2 = 88%
• Week 3 = 60%
• Week 4 = 50%
• Week 5 = 40%
• After week 5 no refund is given
