Cancellation Policy

Cancellations for the Fall semester are accepted up to May 15 without a penalty. Students canceling after May 15 and on, or before, June 15, will incur a $100 cancellation penalty. Cancellations received after June 15 and on, or before, July 1 will incur a $200 cancellation penalty. Contracts cannot be canceled after July 1.

If a student cancels and/or does not return for the Spring semester, it does not necessarily mean he/she has cancelled the nine-month contract. A student must be participating in co-op, internship, student teaching, or a student exchange program, withdrawing from MSU or transferring to another college in order to cancel a contract for the Spring semester. Students getting married will need to furnish proof of marriage. Residents may submit cancellation requests by e-mailing housing@saffairs.msstate.edu or by obtaining and completing a Cancellation Request Form in Herbert Hall Room 118. If cancellations for Spring semester are made prior to December 1, there will be no penalty. Students canceling after December 1 and on, or before, December 20, will incur a $100 cancellation penalty. Cancellations received after December 20 will incur a $200 cancellation penalty. A contract cannot be canceled after the residence halls open for the Spring semester.
