Contract Cancellations
Prior to September 18, 2021, students who would like to cancel their housing contract may do so by logging into the Housing Portal and submitting a Housing Contract Cancellation Request.
If a student cancels their housing contract and receives financial aid, this could result in a reduction in the cost of attendance and a reduction in their financial aid. Notify the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office of your new housing arrangements. If you are living off-campus, you may need to submit a copy of your lease agreement. For more information please visit https://fas.ucsd.edu/
If you cancel your housing contract and would like to live on campus in future quarters, you may apply for our housing waitlist.
Students who cancel their 2021-22 housing contract may be moved to a lower priority group for housing in the 2022-23 academic year.
Contract Terminations
Beginning on September 18, contract cancellations are no longer accepted. If a student has an extenuating circumstance necessitating a contract termination, they will need to log into the Housing Portal and submit a Contract Termination Request form. The Contract Termination Request will be reviewed along with any accompanying documentation and a decision will be sent to the student within three (3) business days. Contract Termination Requests are granted for only very extenuating circumstances. Finding another apartment off-campus is not considered an extenuating circumstance and we advise students NOT to sign leases off-campus while they still hold an on-campus housing contract.
If a Contract Termination Request is granted, the housing and dining dollars will be pro-rated based on when the student completes the move-out process which includes an approved Contract Termination, any residential housing move-out requirements and returning keys to the Residence Life Office. Any dining dollar over-usage will be charged to the student. There is no proration for housing and dining in the first and last two weeks of each quarter.
Students who terminate their housing contract early may be moved to a lower priority group for housing in the 2022-2023 academic year.
Visit the Housing Portal to submit a contract termination request.
