Dear Residents,
Many residents have begun to contact the housing office regarding cancelling
their housing contract for spring semester. This email is clarify
cancellation ability and guidelines for spring semester.
The Housing License Agreement is a TWO SEMESTER contract that is billed
bi-annually. Requests to cancel a housing contract for spring semester will
be granted if the resident is:
Graduating
Withdrawing
Studying Abroad*
Working a Co-op*
Taking a Leave of Absence
an Exchange Student enrolled for the fall semester only
Getting Married (a copy of marriage license or certificate should accompany
the request)
Any resident cancelling their housing for the reasons listed above will
need to come to the housing office before leaving campus to complete a
cancellation request form and make arrangements to have their key
deactivated or returned. Also, any resident seeking Greek housing for the
spring semester will need to contact their organization regarding
cancellation ability. (All cancellations to move to Greek organizations
will be in accordance with the Greek Housing Lease. The lease stipulates
that a cancellation will only be granted if the member will replace a
current Greek resident that is moving out of the organization's house
because they are graduating, withdrawing, studying abroad, working a co-op,
taking a leave of absence, or getting married.
A housing cancellation form MUST be completed and keys MUST be
received BEFORE spring housing charges will be removed. Also remember,
any keys not returned will be subject to a lock change fee of up to $60.
Requests for cancellation of the housing license agreement for spring
semester for other reasons will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Requests for cancellations for other than those reasons listed above are
usually denied.
Please feel free to contact the housing office at 412-268-2139 if you have
any questions or would like to discuss your cancellation request.
* Students participating in CMU affiliated abroad and co-op programs should
also complete a Housing Application to be considered for housing upon their return.
