Housing Contract Cancellation

 

Cancellation of the Campus Housing Contract Heading link

Residents are bound by the terms of the Campus Housing contract agreement and are responsible for room, technology access, and, if applicable, meal plan charges, unless a release is approved by the Director of Administration or their designee.

Residents terminating their agreements will be charged room rates and/or a cancellation charge based on the refund/rate schedule.

Residents terminating their agreements will need to cancel meal plans directly through Dining Services.

To submit a contract cancellation, please submit our cancellation form here.

For questions related to contract cancellation, please email us at housing@uic.edu.

Meal Plan Cancellation Heading link

Meal plan management including cancellation of an existing meal plan can be done at wallet.uic.edu. For further information and support, please contact the Dining Services at dining@uic.edu.

Appeal of Contract Cancellation Charges Heading link

Students that have cancelled their Housing contract may appeal the $500 cancellation charge and any non-refunded Housing charges. Meal plan charges may also be appealed by contacting Dining Services directly, as Campus Housing does not have authority to grant meal plan appeals.

Students must complete an appeal form available from the Campus Housing office and submit all appropriate documentation relevant to their situation. Once an appeal is submitted, it will be considered by the Director for Administration and their designated staff. This committee considers the individual situation and decides to grant or deny the appeal based upon review of information and any additional documentation provided.

Contact the Campus Housing main office (312-355-6300) with questions.
