Housing Cancellation & Withdrawal Details

If you wish to live off-campus but remain an Eastern student, you must contact the Housing Office by the deadlines below in order to request a release from the contract. Please note, the Housing Deposit is non-refundable per Board of Regent Policy.

Annual Housing Contract

Eastern has an annual housing contract. Any student who requests housing for the fall semester (by paying a non-refundable housing deposit and/or by submitting a housing application), have only until June 30th to cancel your request for housing to be released from the contract. After that date, a student can submit a Housing Contract Cancellation Request, which will be reviewed by a committee to determine whether the student will be released from the contact. If a student is not released from their contract, the student will remain assigned to housing for the academic year and all housing charges will apply.
