2025-2026 Academic Year

For cancellations during the academic year, refer to Section 12 of your Housing and Dining License Agreement.

Students who remain on the housing waitlist and have not been assigned a housing space are not subject to cancellation fees.

Submitting a Request to Cancel License Agreement form does not guarantee approval. Each request is reviewed individually based on eligibility and documentation provided.

Students who have already moved in may still request cancellation. If approved, a 30-day notice is required for the checkout date. Fees may apply depending on the timing and terms outlined in the Housing and Dining License Agreement.

All terms and conditions of the Housing License Agreement remain in effect until written approval confirming cancellation is received.

Official cancellation policies and fee structures are outlined in:

• Section 11 — Summer Housing License Agreement
• Section 12 — Academic Year Housing and Dining License Agreement

For complete details, students should review their full License Agreement.
