Cancellations

Learn more about our cancellation policies for first-year and returning students.

NC State resident students with a room assignment can cancel their housing agreement/assignment at any time, understanding that there are associated fees for cancelling. 

First-Year Students

The cancellation policy does not apply to first-year student housing assignments prior to the first day of class because of the First-Year Live-On Requirement. If first-year students do not wish to live on campus, they must complete a first-year live-on requirement appealIf the appeal is granted prior to the start of the semester, a cancellation penalty will not be assessed. If first-year students cancel their housing assignment AFTER the first day of classes, a prorated charge will be applied, and the cancellation fee schedule below will be in place.

Room Selection Period

Fall Room Selection is generally held in early spring (February-March), where participating students have an opportunity to select their room assignments for the following academic year. Students who select housing during this period, whether through a manual or online housing process, or as part of a roommate group during an online room selection process, have 24- hours from the time of the selection or acceptance of housing to cancel their housing assignment without penalty. Canceling a housing application during any part of the Room Selection Process removes the student from the Room Selection Process for that year.
