Housing Contract Cancellations

Contracts can be cancelled without penalty by November 2 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.
