Housing Cancellation Information

All cancellation requests must be completed via online submission through the form in the Housing Portal (see step-by-step guide below). Room charges will continue to incur until a formal cancellation is received AND a student has successfully checked out of their assignment.

If you are remaining as a student at UMSL, a cancellation fee will likely be incurred. Cancellation charges are listed below, as well as in the resident's housing contract (emailed to you upon completion and submission of the contract to our office). Cancellation fees are applied based on the time of the cancellation. 

Students that officially withdraw or graduate from the University of Missouri – St. Louis will not be charged a cancellation fee, but MUST still submit a cancellation form by designated deadline.

Students will be responsible for incurred room charges.

Meals plans will be removed upon cancellation and student will be refunded for remaining meal balances as outlined in the Housing Contract.
