Fees/Deposits/Cancellations
Fees
Proposed Rates for the 2007-08 Academic Year:
- Double Room: $2670
- Single Room/Chancellor's Hall: $3790
Deposits and Cancellations
Students have until May 1 each year to cancel their housing contract and receive a refund of their $75 room reservation deposit. Under no circumstances will the $75 deposit be refunded after May 1, 2007. The room reservation deposit is security for a guarantee on the student's part that the room will be occupied for the full academic year. The money is held in escrow and applied to second semester fees.
Please note that even if students are released from their housing contract, they do not receive a refund of their $75 housing deposit. The Board of Regents for the University of Wisconsin System has established the following reasons for allowing students to be released from their contract:
- Student is quitting school, graduating, involved in a university-sponsored educational experience here or overseas, or is transferring to another university.
- Student has a serious medical problem that cannot be accommodated in the residence halls as noted by a family physician or by University Health Services Center.
- Student gets married and will be living with spouse.
The Business Office will continue to bill students for their room for the entire year unless they have been officially released by the Housing and Residence Life Office. In order to be officially released from the financial obligation of a yearlong housing contract, students must obtain written permission from the Housing and Residence Life Office. We do not have partial year contracts. All contracts are from the date of arrival through the end of the spring semester.
Students withdrawing from the University must report to the office of the dean of the school in which they are enrolled to begin the official procedure. After withdrawing from school, students must coordinate a withdrawal from the residence hall with a Hall Director and a Resident Assistant. Rooms must be vacated in the residence halls within 24 hours after withdrawing from school. Students also are required to vacate rooms at the conclusion of the academic year not later than 24 hours after completing their last final examination.
