AV���ֲ�

Upon accepting a room offer of residence students are required to submit a $500 room confirmation deposit to secure their residence placement. In return, AV���ֲ� has committed to providing residence to the student as long as they are a student of the university. If a room confirmation deposit is not received by the required due date, the student's room offer and residence application will be cancelled.

The $500 room confirmation deposit is considered non-refundable after it has paid.

Note: If there are extenuating circumstances for cancelling your residence accommodation (such as a medical emergency) that prevent you from living in residence, you may appeal for a full or partial refund of your deposit. This must be done within 30 days of cancellation

What are valid grounds for a deposit refund appeal?

In general, if you are not able to live in residence for reasons beyond your control, you may appeal and have your circumstances reviewed. This may include a medical, mental health concern, or family emergency, and supporting documentation must be provided. Attending another institution or living off campus would not be considered a valid reason for a deposit refund.

How do I appeal for a deposit refund?

Send an email with your request from your AV���ֲ� email to residence@dal.ca with the following information:

• Your full name and student Banner ID
• A summary of the reason(s) for withdrawal
• Supporting documentation (this could be a letter from a physician, etc.) to validate the circumstances of your appeal
