Housing Cancellation Information

Cancelling your room assignment on campus may be a complex process. Please be sure to read the information below prior to cancelling your room assignment and completing the Housing Cancellation form.

It’s important to note that if you checked in your room and decide to cancel, you have up to 48 hours to check out. Checking out of the room includes cleaning your side of the room (and any shared spaces), completing the Room Inventory, and returning the room key.

Review the Housing Contract and Terms of Occupancy for more information. Room refunds can be found in the Refunds for Room Charges section.
