The housing agreement is a legally binding agreement. Students will not be released from their agreement for financial, dietary or non-emergency medical reasons. However, students may request a housing agreement cancellation under certain conditions (documentation required):
FIU Housing will assess the fee for all approved cancellations of this agreement and any fees in accordance with the agreement.
Approved cancellation fees for Spring 2021 | |
---|---|
Date | Fee |
Before November 1, 2020 | $0 |
November 1, 2020 - December 30, 2020 | $200 |
After December 30, 2020 | $500 |
Students may have the fee waived for special conditions. A student who has his/her cancellation fee waived is still responsible to pay for the full amount of the assigned room prorated rent based on the nights of occupancy.
*Spring semester only
No cancellations shall be made after the end of the 6th week of the applicable semester. Students leaving after that time are considered early check-outs and forfeit all rights to any refund. The denial of a cancellation request is final and not subject to an appeals process.
If you are eligible, please send us an email at housing@fiu.edu.
Should a student have a medical need that would preclude them from living in housing, they may request a medical cancellation. Housing works closely with Student Health Services and the Disability Resource Center to fulfill requests and maintain total confidentiality. Medical information is not shared with FIU Housing. Students should consult with these offices to determine if a cancellation is warranted.
If the cancellation request is denied, the student must buyout the housing agreement to end residence. If the student chooses to buyout, she or he must take the following steps for approval:
