Early Termination of the Housing Contract (after assuming occupancy)
Occupants may cancel the Student Housing Contract prior to the end of the Contract only if the occupant does NOT return to the College as a student for the winter term. Written notification MUST be received by December 1. Cancellations received after the due date will result in forfeiture of the housing deposit, and/or additional charges.
If the occupant officially withdraws from the College during the contract period, the applicable room and board assessment is in accordance with the current refund policy published by the Student Billing and Cashiering Office. Please note that the billing will be determined by the date the student officially checks out of housing, rather than the date of withdraw from classes.
Occupants are bound to the Student Housing Contract for the full academic year (August‑May) and may NOT cancel in order to change place of residence to a private home, apartment or other off‑campus accommodation (while remaining a student at Fort Lewis College). If the student begins occupancy in the winter term, the Student Housing contract is for that term only.
