Housing Cancellation
Students that want to cancel their housing must notify the Office of Residence Life by accessing their application in the housing portal and selecting "Cancel/Withdraw application" from the dropdown menu.
There is a cancellation charge based on the date the termination is processed. In order to avoid a cancellation fee, residents must cancel their housing contract by June 15, 2023 for the Fall 2023 Semester or November 23, 2023 for the Spring 2024 Semester.
If a Resident is assigned a residence hall space after the cancellation deadlines stated above, he/she has three (3) business days to cancel this Housing Contract to avoid the cancellation fee.
If a resident cancels their housing contract during the academic year, the cancellation will not be processed until the resident has officially moved out of their assigned space. This includes removing all personal belongings from the space, returning their keys, and completing all move-out paperwork. If any of the above requirements are not followed, the University will deem that the resident has not vacated the residence hall space and will continue to be charged for the space. Students that have already moved into the residence halls must submit the form, move all of their items out of their room, and check out with a Residence Life staff member. The housing contract will be terminated based on the date the student returns their key.
For full details on the cancellation policy, students can review the housing contract signed and emailed as confirmation upon submission of the housing application.
