The Residence Hall and Dining Service contract obligates the student for a full academic year. Students who currently live in TCU housing and who are enrolled at TCU are responsible for all room charges, even if students submit an intent to cancel.

 

Intent to cancel the Contract must be received in writing or electronically from the resident by Housing and Residence Life. No cancellation by telephone will be accepted. Contract Cancellation Charges (for paid or waived Advance Housing Payments) will be determined per the schedules below. Before assuming occupancy, residents who have paid or received a waiver of the Advance Housing Payment will be refunded and/or will have a Contract Cancellation Charge imposed in accordance with the following schedule.

 

For all new and continuing students in the Fall semester:

For all newly admitted students for the Spring semester:

Housing assignments will automatically be cancelled if a student has not checked into his or her room by 8:00 AM on the morning of the first day of scheduled classes for each semester. Fall housing assignments will be cancelled if a student's advance registration is cancelled and the Advance Housing Payment will be forfeited in full.

 

Any student who terminates his or her year-long Contract subsequent to occupancy must give written notification, including a statement of reasons for termination, to Housing and Residence Life. Contract termination will result in charges for the full semester. Any exceptions to this policy will be reviewed by the Director of Housing and Residence Life or the designate, and appeals must be submitted within 60 days after the charges appear on the TCU bill. Refunds are made in the form of a check only when the student has a credit balance with the University. Otherwise, the credit will be applied against the student's debt to the University.

 

Any student not returning to the Residence Hall for the Spring semester must submit written notification to Housing and Residence Life of his or her intent to cancel the Contract. Contract termination will result in charges for the full academic year.  View the contract for more information. The presence of possessions in a room after the official hall closing date for the Fall semester will result in full charges for the Spring semester. Any exceptions to this policy will be reviewed by the Director of Housing and Residence Life or the designate.
