Undergraduate Housing Contract Cancellation Information

Here are some guidelines for cancellation of the academic year contract:

Cancellation Charges

For all contracts, if the cancellation is due to academic ineligibility, withdrawal or transfer to another university, there are no cancellation fees. If the cancellation is submitted by the August deadline listed in the license contract there is no cancellation fee. Otherwise, there is a cancellation fee AND a required notification of cancellation. The cancellation fee is $150.00 if the notification is given between the August deadline and commencement date of the fall license contract.  If canceling the license contract after the commencement date, a fee of $300.00. In addition, the resident must follow the check-out procedures outlined below.

Termination due to academic ineligibility, withdrawal or graduation

The resident's contract will be terminated and the resident must complete check-out procedures effective the 15th day from notification of student ineligibility. All refunds for housing will be prorated based on the last day of residence. Failure to complete the check-out procedures within the prescribed time period will result in an improper check-out fee of $50.00 and an additional $100.00 per day to be billed directly to the resident until such procedures are completed.

Refunds

When applicable, resident's room charges will be prorated on resident's check-out date, based on a 13 week per term schedule. For residents of Avery House or the On-Campus Houses, board program fees will continue to be charged until the completion of check-out procedures.

Check-out Procedures

The following procedures must be completed for proper check-out:

  • All personal possessions are removed from the room
  • Resident has completely vacated the Premises
  • The check-out form must be completed and submitted with any room key to the Housing Office within 5 (five) days
  • The contract cancellation form must be completed and submitted

Until the above procedures are completed, resident will be charged for room and board fees, and any applicable penalty charges as outlined in the license contract.

The Housing Office is not responsible for items left in rooms after resident check-out or contract termination.
