Withdrawal or cancellation

Need to cancel your contract or withdraw from residence?

From time to time, it becomes necessary for students to consider cancelling their contract or withdrawing from residence.

Before this happens, students are strongly advised to meet with the Residence Life Co-ordinator (RLC) for their residence community. The RLC can provide options, resources, and referrals to assist students in their decision-making process.
 

If you wish to cancel your contract or withdraw from residence,
you must complete a withdrawal/cancellation Form.

Please note that cancelling your contract can come with a penalty. We recommend reviewing the cancellation/withdrawal fees as outlined in the terms and conditions.

The following are important points to consider:

• Students who withdraw from residence once their contract has begun will be assessed a $500 withdrawal fee, unless they are required to withdraw academically or for medical reasons.
• Students who cancel their contract before moving in will not be refunded their $500 deposit, unless they are required to withdraw academically or for medical reasons.
• Supporting medical documentation must be sent to Housing Administration by email, housing@uwaterloo.ca, or by fax at 519-746-8152.
