<p>CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION: <a href="http://hds.ucsd.edu/housing/contract.html%5B/url%5D">http://hds.ucsd.edu/housing/contract.html</a></p>
<ol>
<li>Cancellation prior to move-in or failure to take occupancy: The Resident must notify the University in writing prior to move-in day. The Resident’s Housing Contract will be canceled and the student will be assessed a cancellation fee as specified in the Cancellation Policy (Appendix B), which is incorporated into and made part of this contract.</li>
</ol>
<p>** 2. Termination after occupancy:** The Resident must complete a Housing Contract Release request. Upon approval, the Resident’s Housing Contract will be terminated and the student will be assessed a $100 liquidated damages fee and any additional custodial related charges associated with the period of residency (billed to the Resident’s student account). The Resident hereby agrees and accepts that it is reasonable for this liquidated damages fee to cover the University’s costs resulting from the Resident’s failure to fulfill the terms of the Contract, as it is impractical and difficult to determine the amount of damage. ** This Contract may be terminated only with prior approval of the University under the conditions enumerated below *<a href="3%20through%206">i</a>:</p>
<ol>
<li>Resident ceases to be a currently enrolled student at UCSD due to graduation, withdrawal, academic dismissal, transfer to another institution, participation in a University-authorized planned leave program, or because of marriage. The Resident must present official documentation as verification and return all appropriate forms and keys to the College Residential Life Office. Failure to return the keys will result in continued charges for the room and board costs.</li>
<li>Resident submits a written request for Housing Contract termination based upon compelling and unanticipated medical or financial problems which are substantiated as required by the University.</li>
<li>Upon written notice, if Resident engages in behavior or activity which is prohibited in UCSD Residential Housing or Dining facilities, violates any rules of the University, including, but not limited to rules and regulations applicable to UCSD Housing facilities, violates any law of the State of California or the United States, or otherwise engages in conduct detrimental to himself/herself or the welfare of others.</li>
<li>Except as prohibited by law, this Contract may be terminated by the University by service of a 30-day notice of termination of tenancy upon the Resident. Resident may be subject to a Three-Day Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit, or Notice to Quit, whichever is appropriate, under any circumstances allowed by law. Any holding thereafter shall result in Resident being liable to the University for the daily room and board costs.</li>
</ol>
<p>You should decide now whether to stay for one year in the dorms or **live off-campus altogether<a href="which%20is%20not%20actually%20that%20bad">/b</a>.</p>
<p>i know someone (freshman) who lived for 2 quarters on campus, then paid some fee to move off campus this quarter. it worked because her parents had bought a home/condo/something off campus and it was sitting there collecting dust and it had gotten too expensive to have her on campus while the house was empty and unrented. so i guess you better have a good reason.</p>
<p>trying to cancel your housing contract is a *****. do not "plan" on getting out of it. I went through hell (it took the entire winter quarter) trying to get out even having The Worst Roommate Of All Time.</p>
