If a student decides to move out after only one semester, they will not be refunded for the semester they decided to live elsewhere (e.g. student decides to leave after the fall semester, they will not be refunded for the spring semester).
If studies and housing are postponed to the next semester or academic year, housing costs and fees will follow the same refund structure outlined above. Postponement is considered a cancellation for the reserved housing period.
Cancellation Exceptions
Visa Rejection: Visa-related cancellations follow the refund structure outlined above. However, if a visa is rejected for reasons beyond the student’s control and the visa application was submitted on time (at least 120 days before the semester starts), the applicant may request a full refund. To do so, they must provide the official rejection notice from the respective embassy to the Housing Specialist as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after receiving it.
Under this exception refunds will not be possible after the check-in date, and full refunds are not guaranteed. Applicants should only make payments and cover applicable fees if they are fully committed to using the accommodation. If an applicant fails to secure an embassy visa appointment, a current student fails to extend their visa, or for any other reason, the above listed cancellation rules will apply without exceptions.
