UP students sign a housing and dining contract for an entire academic year (both Fall and Spring semesters). As per your signed housing contract, you may be released from it (the agreed-upon terms) by any one of the following options: (a) withdrawing from school; (b) marriage; (c) graduation; (d) approved study abroad; (e) serious extenuating circumstances beyond your control that were not present at the time of housing selection. In these cases, the Office of Residence Life will need to see and evaluate appropriate documentation. Students who move out of on-campus housing without formal approval/release from their housing contract will continue to be charged for room and board for the entire academic year. Please see the housing cancellation dates below.
Until March 31st: No formal request needed and no cancellation fee. Email reslife@up.edu to cancel.
After March 31st and through the academic year: Requests need to be submitted through eRezLife. Approvals are rare. There is a $1,000 cancellation.
UP and the Office of Residence Life team have many resources and supports in place to assist any students who feel they need to change their housing assignment during the academic year. Email us at reslife@up.edu any time for support in this area.
Below are forms that can be used to request a change to the terms of your housing contract or to your housing assignment.
