Cancellations
Any student wishing to cancel their housing application/contract, must submit a Contract Cancellation Request form to the Office of University Housing, C404, or via email to housing@ltu.edu. All cancellation requests must be approved by the Executive Director of Residence Life.
Any uncommunicated delays or improper checkouts may result in fines and possible Student Code of Conduct violations.
Application Fee Refund Policy
When students apply to live in University Housing for the first time, they must submit a $250 housing application fee. This fee becomes your housing deposit.
Any current student who previously applied for housing and paid the $250 application fee does not need to pay the fee again unless at some point they cancelled their housing contract and the fee was previously returned to them or forfeited.
Once a student decides they no longer wish to live in University Housing and does not renew their housing contract for the following academic year or they cancel their housing contract before or during the contract period, they are subject to the following refund policy of their housing deposit and housing fee.
