Withdrawing from residence

Sometimes there are circumstances that lead to a student needing to leave residence part way through the year. The Residence Office team is here to help. 

What do I do if I want to leave residence?

If you have a problem with your living environment, please contact the Residence Office, and we will try to resolve the situation as soon as possible.

Before you withdraw from residence, you need to contact the Residence Office for your campus (Link to contact)  by email to do the withdrawal paperwork.

As outlined in the Residence Agreement [PDF-96KB], you are responsible for the full fee (including meal plan) if you leave residence before the end of the academic year.
