Housing Cancellation Procedure

As written in the Housing Room & Board Application and License Agreement:

CANCELLATION POLICY:

  1. Notification of Cancellation to avoid penalty timeline: Students entering University housing for the proceeding semester may cancel their Room & Board Application and License Agreement without financial penalty by June 1 (for the proceeding fall term), December 1 (for the proceeding spring term), and May 1 (for the proceeding summer term).

  2. Between the above dates and Opening Day for those respective terms, the student will be charged a $400 fee for breaking the Agreement/ not checking in by the first day of classes.

  3. Room cancellations made after the student has moved in and the first day of classes are not eligible for a refund of room or board.

  4. Fall semester residents who request cancellation of their room & board for the following Spring semester will still be charged for room & board if they remain enrolled at the University, unless they are granted a waiver to be released from their contract.

  5. Students who have completed an application for housing and submitted a housing deposit, but fail to cancel the agreement, and do not show up and check-in by the first date of classes, will have their housing canceled and be assessed the $400 cancellation fee.

  6. Upon checkout, the room condition will be checked against the Room Condition Record for damages incurred. The housing deposit will be retained by the University. The deposit will be refunded to the Student’s NMT account, minus any damages or cleaning fees once the Student leaves University housing. The student will need to contact Student Account regarding a refund being sent.

Reasons that guarantee release:

Any other reason does not guarantee an agreement release, and have a low chance of being granted. Please make sure you have been granted a release before signing another lease, as you may end up being bound by two housing agreements and paying rent for both.
