Current students attending OSU or living in UHDS housing with a contract for UHDS housing for 2013-2014 have until May 15, 2013 to cancel their contract without incurring a cancellation fee. New applicants, who are not currently attending OSU, have until August 1, 2013 to cancel their contracts without incurring a Cancellation Fee.
Residents who have a signed contract with UHDS, participated in formal Greek recruitment, and plan on moving into a University-recognized Greek facility will have until September 6, 2013 at 5:00 PM to cancel this contract without being charged the cancellation fees.
For Residence Halls and Cooperative Houses: The cancellation fee is the full remaining Contract Term after receipt of Cancellation. If cancellation takes place prior to Occupancy, the fee will be assessed equal to the amount of one academic term charge excluding unused Dining Dollars. If cancellation takes place during Occupancy of the Contract Term, the fee will be assessed for the remaining Contract Term excluding unused Dining Dollars. If, at the start of Winter or Spring term, UHDS housing is oversubscribed and students who desire rooms are housed in temporary housing, the previously cancelling student will be refunded the amount of the Contract Term minus the amount for the academic term(s) in which UHDS is oversubscribed and over capacity.
* All procedures begin at 2 p.m. on the day they are scheduled, unless otherwise noted.
** New this year for Priority Housing Selection: Students who wish to live in doubles will NOT need to find a roommate ahead of time, in order to reserve one half of a room. However, students that want to live in a triple or quad (three- or four-person rooom), will still need to find and confirm roommates ahead of room selection in order to participate.
