 | Cancel Room Assignment |
| | Q | How do I cancel my room assignment? |
| | A | The License Agreement is strictly adhered to with exceptions made only under special circumstances. Students who wish to request a release may do so by completing an Agreement Release Request form and submitting it to the OHRL. Submitting a request for a release does not guarantee release nor should acceptance of the Agreement Release Request form by the OHRL be construed as a commitment to release.
Consideration for release from the Agreement should fall into one or more of the following categories:
-participation in an approved study abroad program
-graduation
-withdrawal from Mason
-a medical condition that precludes the possibility of living on campus
-a significant and unforeseen change in financial status
-marriage
Residents requesting a release must establish, through supporting third party documentation, the following:
-A significant, uncontrollable, and unforeseen change in circumstance has occurred since; the time the Agreement was signed, which has created a special need (categories stated above)
-George Mason University has no other form of housing that will meet this need.
All approved cancellations will incur a cancellation fee in addition to pro-rated costs for the period of residence. Rent charges will continue to accrue until the resident has properly checked out and returned his/her room keys to the appropriate Area Desk.
The Process for Requesting an Agreement Release
1. Applicants must obtain, complete, and submit an Agreement Release Request and all necessary documentation to the OHRL.
2. The request will be reviewed and a decision will be communicated to the applicant via e-mail, usually within 7 business days.
3. Applicants may choose to check out of their on campus space pending a decision, but if the request is denied, they will still be responsible for paying rent charges for a space on-campus.
4. If an Agreement Release Request is denied, a student may submit an Agreement Release Appeal. Agreement Release Appeals will only be accepted if additional information, not available at the time of your original request, has become available. Agreement Release Appeals that do not include additional information will not be accepted. All Release Appeals and new documentation must be in writing.
