If you wish to cancel your housing assignment, you must submit a Housing Cancellation Form in the Housing Portal. The form can be found in the General Forms tab.

During the fall semesters (for the upcoming spring semesters), Housing Cancellation Forms must be completed by December 1 to avoid the $500 cancellation fee. Moving off campus will be waived the cancellation fee in this exception.

Please review the Housing Contract and Terms of Occupancy for more information.

The $500 Cancellation Fee will apply for the following reasons:
