Residence Life: Cancel/Change Contract

Release from or Change in Contract

Housing Contract Petition

Students may be released from the student housing contract by any one of the following options: (a) withdrawing from school; (b) marriage; (c) graduation; (d) approved study abroad; (e) serious extenuating circumstances beyond the student's control.  Students who request to be released from their student housing contract must complete a Housing Contract Petition Form and submit it to the Office of Residence Life, 101 Buckley Center.  Appropriate documentation must accompany the petition for it to be considered.  Students who are released from their contracts during a semester may be eligible for a refund based on the unused portion of the contract.  The housing deposit is non-refundable in this case.

If a student moves out of a residence hall during the school year without an approved contract release or is removed for judicial purposes, housing costs for the year will be charged to his/her account.
