The signature that appears on the cancellation notice will be verified with the signature on your residence contract before the cancellation is processed.

Students whose cancellations are not received by the last date stated below will not be entitled to a partial refund of their residence down payment.

Room Cancellations During the Residence Contract Period

The Residence Contract is binding for the full academic year.

Students who withdraw from the University and Residence prior to November 1^st in the fall term or prior to February 15 for the winter term will be entitled to a prorated adjustment for both room and/or board.  These students will be subject to a Residence Cancellation Penalty of $500.00 which will be applied to their student accounts.

A student who withdraws from Residence (but not the University) will be responsible for all charges related to the Residence room assignment (including, but not limited to, room and/or meal plan assessments, disciplinary penalties, long distance charges, etc.) for the remainder of the contract.

Please note that moving out of Residence and leaving your keys in your room or returning them to the Residence Front Desk does not release you from your financial responsibilities.
