Students eligible for a housing cancellation may submit a request to cancel their housing assignment on the Housing Portal. If a student who is not required to live on campus submits a request to cancel their housing assignment after the applicable grace period— and is approved—a cancellation fee will be assessed per the schedules below:

CANCELLATION FEE   

If a student not required to live on campus submits a request to cancel their housing assignment after the applicable grace period and is approved, there will be a cancellation fee assessed per the schedules below.  The cancellation fee will ONLY be waived if the cancellation reason is due to not being enrolled at Seattle University for any period during the agreement time frame (these criteria include Leave of Absence, Withdrawal from the university, study abroad, and early graduation). 

Exceptions to the Cancellation Fee Policy  

If a student requests to cancel their Housing assignment due to any of the following reasons, no cancellation fee will be applied:  

  • Transfer, Withdrawal, Leave of Absence, or Hardship Withdrawal from Seattle University – Students who are no longer actively enrolled at Seattle University will not be charged a cancellation fee. Please note that students who are suspended or expelled for disciplinary reasons will not be released from the financial obligations of their Student Housing Agreement. For mid-quarter withdrawals, students will have their housing and meal plan charges prorated based on their occupancy period.
  • Graduation – Students who graduate during the academic year will not be charged a cancellation fee.
  • Academic Internship/Exchange/Study Abroad – Students who study abroad or participate in any Seattle University-sponsored program will not be charged a cancellation fee. Participation in Seattle University-sponsored programs will be verified administratively.  
  • Military Relocation – Students who are relocated for United States military purposes will not be charged a cancellation fee. Documentation is required to verify this status.

  Upon receiving approval of a Housing Cancellation request, students will be charged a pro-rated Housing and Meal Plan rate based on the number of nights of occupancy.
