Saying Goodbye to Dorm Life

We understand that sometimes your plans change and you need to cancel your housing contract. In order to cancel your contract, you will need to complete the contract cancellation form located in your Shocker Housing Portal. Even in the case that the resident has notified other campus offices that they will not be attending the university, it is the sole responsibility of the resident to complete the online contract cancellation form for their housing contract.

Please be aware that the $75 application fee is non-refundable for any resident (new or current).
