Cancellation Form

• Log into the Housing Portal, select HOUSING FORM, and then click through to the Housing Cancellation Form.

The Housing Contract period covers from when a student signs the Housing Contract through when the residence halls close at the conclusion of their assignment period. To request a release from the financial obligation of the Housing Contract, a student must submit a Housing Cancellation form. Failure to occupy an assigned space does not constitute cancellation of the Housing Contract and all financial obligations remain.

A cancellation is not effective until all such applicable conditions below are satisfied:

• The Housing Cancellation Form has been received by the Residential Life & Housing office.
• The student completes a check-out envelope at their residence hall front desk and returns all keys issued by the College.
• The student fully vacates College housing, including their belongings.

Students may be eligible for refunds on a term- or prorated-basis (after adjustment for any previously issued financial aid awards) and/or may be liable for cancellation fee as outlined in the Fee schedule below.

Students who are required to move out of College housing for reasons of academic or disciplinary dismissal will not be eligible for a refund and remain liable for housing charges.

Students who cancel during occupancy must vacate within 48 hours of submitting the Housing Cancellation form and/or taking a leave of absence from the College; otherwise, late cancellation fees and/or disciplinary action may apply.

Impact on Future Housing Eligibility

The following groups of students who cancel housing will be eligible to take part in the 2021-2022 Room Selection process as long as they remain enrolled full-time for the 2020-21 academic year (i.e. do not take a leave of absence):

• Continuing students who participated in the 2020-21 Room Selection process
• 2020 First Year students

Other students (including Transfers, commuters, and students who take a leave of absence) may apply for 2021-2022 campus housing, but will not be eligible for the Room Selection process (even if they received housing for Fall 2020 or Spring 2021 as an exception). Please note that while the College is always hopeful to provide housing to as many applicants as possible, housing cannot be guaranteed for students who are not eligible for the Room Selection process.

Fall 2020 Cancellation Fees

The cancellation policy for Spring 2021 semester housing will be posted in October.

The College will pause the housing cancellation fee from August 7-14. Cancellations submitted after 8/14 will result in a cancellation fee.
