Contract Cancellation Information

Any student who has signed a housing and dining contract has a valid/legally binding contract. If a student decides to not reside in university housing, they will be subject to the cancellation policy and procedures.

Eligible students may request to cancel their housing contract via the housing portal on MyRED. Before submitting a request, students should ensure eligibility. To cancel your housing contract, you must meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Graduation
• Approved exemption to the on-campus residency requirement
• Not enrolled at UNL
• Life event (Marriage, birth of child, significant incident, medical)
• Military service
• Students not subject to the on-campus residency requirement (generally, second-year students and beyond)
• Study abroad

Submitting a cancellation request is not an automatic release from your contract, nor does it guarantee a release. Each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Requests will be responded to within one week of submission. If approved, and depending upon the details submitted in your cancellation request, you may be responsible for a cancellation fee and/or a portion of the contracted rate.
