Housing Cancellation

Housing Cancellation

It is important to notify Auburn University Housing if you wish to cancel your housing agreement. The housing cancellation process is done through the Housing Student Portal or via email at housing@auburn.edu. Please select your student status below to learn more about the cancellation process.

Incoming students acknowledge a two-semester agreement (i.e., both fall and spring semesters). Incoming students are able to cancel their housing application within the application itself, located on the Housing Student Portal. Students will be asked to specify their reason for cancellation. Please refer to the Cancellation deadlines below.

Application Dates Cancellation Deadline
Assigned on or prior to April 18, 2025 May 1, 2025
Assigned after April 18, 2025 Cancellation deadline is emailed to students in their assignment email.
