Cancellation requests must be made in writing to the Office of Residence Life.  Refunds for room and board charges will follow a schedule as described in the the Student Handbook under" University of Evansville Institutional Refund Policy". 

New Students:  Entering students who cancel their housing forfeit their housing and damage deposit.

Existing Students: Contracts can be cancelled without penalty by May 1 for the fall semester and November 1 for the spring semester for the reasons listed below.  Cancellation requests made after these deadlines can result in the loss of the housing deposit and an additional $200 cancellation fee.

Requests falling in the categories below will be considered:

• Attending Harlaxton College or studying abroad
• Requests to reside locally with parents, legal guardians or immediate family
• Entering a co-op job, internship or clinical outside the Evansville area
• Transferring, withdrawing or graduating

Other requests are typically not granted.  Requests to move off campus to live with friends or move into an apartment are not sufficient reasons to cancel a UE housing contract.  Entering into any other housing agreement or lease with a private landlord will have no effect upon the conditions of your contract with the University of Evansville. 

Withdrawing for Academic or Medical Reasons: A student who is permitted or required to withdraw from the University for significant academic or medical reasons will receive refunds as outlined under the University refund policy in the Student Handbook. 

Cancellations for Fraternity Move-Over:  Individuals moving into fraternity houses must cancel their housing under guidelines for fraternity move-over.  These guidelines can be obtained from the Office of Residence Life.  Students who choose to move into a fraternity house, yet fail to terminate their housing as required in the guidelines for fraternity move-over, will be responsible for housing charges up until the date of their cancellation request.
