Cancellation Charges

Note: Cancellation fees refer to contracts that have not yet begun. If you are looking to terminate an active contract, please refer to the mid-contract termination page.

When you complete the housing application, you agree to the terms and conditions of the housing contract. Once you submit the housing application, this is your housing contract. If you choose to cancel your housing contract PRIOR to being assigned a housing placement or moving in to your assigned space, you must notify the Housing & Residential Life Office by sending an email to housing@webster.edu with your full name and ID number. Once a housing contract has been submitted, it becomes subject to the following cancellation fee schedule, please be mindful of the dates and associated charges. 

NOTE: Students who have do not submit their housing deposit with their contract are still subject to the fee schedule. In lieu of the forfeiture of deposit, the student will be charged the $175 housing deposit to their student account. ($25 is a non-refundable application fee, $150 is a damage deposit).

If you wish to cancel your housing contract AFTER you have moved in, you must fill out a Request for Termination Application online. Please read the Request for Termination Form carefully for more information on charges and limitations associated with it.
