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:
Requests for cancellation can be made in the following situations. If approved, you will be released from your housing contract without being charged the $500 Housing Cancellation Fee.
If your request for cancellation or assignment change is denied, you may submit an appeal to the Director of Residence Life and Housing.
All appeals must be made in writing via email within 5 working days of the decision.
We will review all details of the case, and a final decision will be sent to you, usually within 3 working days of the appeal being made.
