Cancellations

Academic Year 2013-14

The terms and conditions listed under Sections 12 and 13 in your contract fully explain the cancellation policy for University Residence Halls contracts. Here are a few highlights:

  • If you are not attending the University of Wisconsin – Madison, you can be released from your University Residence Halls contract. Notification in writing by May 1 ensures a full refund of your Housing deposit.
  • Contract releases to live off campus while attending UW–Madison will not be granted. Your option is a buy-out of your contract at 85% of the annual double room rate.
  • Financial hardship is not a consideration for a contract release unless your financial situation has significantly changed and the need cannot be met after consultation with the Office of Student Financial Aid.
  • You can be released from your contract to participate in a study abroad program, work co-op or student teaching outside the Madison area for the second semester; however, you will forfeit your deposit.
