For First-Year Students
First-year students are required to live on campus for their
first three terms at Dartmouth. On-campus housing may not be cancelled
until the residency requirement has been fulfilled or is waived by the
First-Year Dean.
For Upperclass Students
To cancel a housing assignment, written notification, including the
student’s name and ID number, must be sent to the Housing Office either by
letter or e-mail. Cancellation of a housing assignment after the cancellation
deadline for any term will result in a cancellation fee of $500. For fall
term cancellations only, a cancellation of a housing assignment after selecting
a room at room draw and before July 1, 2008 will result in a cancellation fee
of $250. A student who cancels his or her residence hall or affinity
assignment after the cancellation deadline in order to move into a
privately-owned CFS facility will be charged the cancellation fee. The
cancellation fee will not be assessed if a student is approved for a room
change from one College-owned location to another.

A housing assignment cannot be cancelled once the residence halls
open each term, unless the student is suspended, separated or
withdraws from the College, in which case the College refund policy applies. In
addition, a student may be granted approval to cancel a residence hall or
affinity assignment after the halls open for a given term in order to move into
a privately-owned CFS facility. In this instance, residence hall or affinity
rent will be prorated and the $500 cancellation fee will apply.
An upperclass student who is enrolled for consecutive academic terms
(excluding summer term) and who resides in College housing may cancel his or
her assignment and move off-campus after completing at least one term in
residence. A $500 cancellation fee is charged if notice of cancellation is
received after the cancellation deadline.
Changing one’s D-Plan after the cancellation deadline in such a way as to
cause a cancellation of a housing assignment will result in the cancellation
fee being charged. As a result, students are encouraged to plan carefully so
that this fee may be avoided. A student who cancels his or her housing due to
being removed from a wait list to participate in an off-campus study program
will not be charged a cancellation fee.
