Any Contract cancellation or termination must be submitted in writing. If you are cancelling an upcoming contract before moving in, you may email your request to housing@pdx.edu. If you wish to cancel your current contract after having moved in, you must contact us at housing@pdx.edu to obtain a Contract Cancellation Form to avoid improper cancellation charges. Cancellation fees may apply.
The $140 Spring Prepayment will be refunded only if Resident provides UHRL with written notice of Contract cancellation on or before June 15, 2021. Cancellations after June 15, 2021 will not receive a refund of the Spring Prepayment. Students with active Contracts during Spring 2022 will have Spring Term charges reduced by $140.
