Housing Contract Cancellation
Continue to main contentProcedures
Review the following information to determine your reason for cancellation and potential charges. To cancel your contract, fill out and submit the Housing Contract Cancellation form located at the bottom of the page. Students requesting a Residency Release will only need to fill out the Residency Release Application because the contract cancellation is part of the release request.
Two-Year Residency Requirement
The Board of Governors at Southeast Missouri State University requires that all full-time students live on campus for two years (four semesters, excluding summers). Students who are continuing their education with the university and who want to live off-campus must complete a residency release. If approved, then a contract cancellation will be processed for the student if they indicate on the release request that they have one on file and want it to be canceled.
Cancellation Deadlines and Fees
Canceling a Fall 26/Spring 27 housing contract are charged based on the rates listed on the Contract for University Housing if canceling before moving on to campus. Deposit refunds can take up to 60 days from cancellation processing.
