Residence Hall Contract Cancellation Form

Residence Hall Contract Cancellation Request Form

Intended for students who have previously signed a contract but wish to cancel prior to entry / start of term.

Please check the statement that best describes your circumstances:*
- I am no longer attending UWM and I’ve submitted a contract for housing
- I choose to no longer reside in University Housing (returning upperclassmen, incoming transfers, nontraditional first-year students)
- I am seeking an exemption from the Mandatory Housing Requirement but have previously submitted a contract for housing (prior to entry) ** [The Residency Requirement is not enforced for Fall 2020 or Spring 2021]
** Students selecting this statement must also complete the Request for Exemption to Mandatory Housing Requirement Form available at: uwm.edu/housing/students/residency/residency-policy-toolkit/. Cancellations will not be processed until the student’s Exemption Request is granted.
If you meet one of the three conditions above, you can request to be released from your housing contract by submitting this Contract Cancellation Form. This form is only applicable prior to your assigned date of entry or contract start date. If your contract start date or assigned move-in date has passed or you have moved in please complete the Contract Termination Request Form.
