Find answers to your questions about Housing Withdrawal and Housing Refunds here!
Withdrawal
A withdrawal from Housing occurs when you would like to terminate your resident agreement (move out of assigned housing) before the end date on the signed contract. This means that you no longer want to live on campus.
There are 2 types of withdrawals that occur, both instances require you to complete a Housing Withdrawal Form:
- Withdrawing from Housing but continuing to attend TWU as a student
- Withdrawing from TWU as a student, and as a result, withdrawing from Housing
When do I need to withdraw?
You only need to withdraw from Housing if you have fully accepted your Housing offer. This means that you received an offer and clicked on “Accept” AND paid the $500 prepayment for your offer.
The Housing Team will automatically withdraw you from housing 1 week after your offer is sent if:
- You did not accept your offer
- You declined your offer
- You accepted but did not pay your $500 prepayment
Housing Refunds follows the same refund calendar dates as the Office of the Registrar. To see the amounts that will be refunded to you, depending on the date that you are withdrawing, you can review the Office of the Registrar Refunds Article
$500 Prepayment
When you accept your Housing offer you are required to pay the $500 non refundable prepayment that will be put towards your first Housing payment.
As stated, this $500 is non refundable. Anytime you withdraw, you will not get this $500 back.
The only exception to this is if your Visa is denied.
Meal Plan Refunds
If you are a TWU resident living on campus, meal plans are mandatory. Residents must be signed up for the minimum meal plan requirement for their building.
Residents are able to change their meal plan (no lower than their minimum meal plan requirement) before Add/Drop. Students will be charged per swipe and flex dollars used if they choose to withdraw or change their meal plan before Add/Drop. No changes or refunds will be completed after Add/Drop.
