If your cancellation is approved during the semester, you are required to move out within 48 hours of notification of approval, or by move out deadline.

Any uncommunicated delays or improper checkouts may result in fines and possible Student Code of Conduct violations.

Any cancellation after June 1st will result in the forfeiture of the housing deposit.

If you wish to cancel before the second week of classes, you will be charged for what you have used of your meal plan. 

Contract Cancellation Form


Application Fee Refund Policy

When students apply to live in University Housing for the first time, they must submit a $250 housing application fee. This fee becomes your housing deposit.

Any current student who previously applied for housing and paid the $250 application fee does not need to pay the fee again unless at some point they cancelled their housing contract and the fee was previously returned to them or forfeited. 

Once a student decides they no longer wish to live in University Housing and does not renew their housing contract for the following academic year, or they cancel their housing contract before or during the contract period they are subject to the following refund policy of their housing deposit and housing fee.
