Cancellations & Refund Procedures

These are the general guidelines for room and meal plan refunds. All requests for refunds must be made in writing and turned in to the University Housing Office. Refunds are normally mailed to the student and processing may take four to six weeks. Refunds may be delayed if student has an outstanding obligation to the University. Any outstanding obligation to the Housing Office will be deducted from the refund. All amounts due to the Student Housing are based on the entire applicable Fall/Spring/Summer term. Once an assignment is made and a signed billing statement is received by Housing, it is up to the individual to cancel his/her space in writing if a refund is requested or to avoid a financial obligation.
