Housing Cancellation

The housing application fee of $150.00 is a non-refundable fee. The fee is due on or before the execution date of the housing agreement. Students may request a cancellation of an active housing application. An “active” application is defined as an application that is prior to or during occupancy of the applicable time outlined in the application.

Cancellation fees are applicable to all students after the designated deadlines below. All cancellation requests should be submitted to Housing and Residence Life via the myHousing portal. If cancellation is received after the cancellation deadline but before the first day of classes, students are subject to an $800.00 cancellation fee. If cancellation is received after the cancellation deadline and on or after the first day of classes, the student is subject to a fee equal to 50% of the yearly bed or prorated daily rate, whichever is greater.
