housing deadline?

<p>i applied to Summer B, but i'm not entirely sure i want to go to UF. my first and second choice schools won't be sending me their decision until April 1st. i got something in the mail that said something about sending in money by the end of february. AHHH!</p>

<p>do i HAVE to send it in? or does it just have to be in by some time in may?</p>

<p>you lose your priority date if it's not in by the due date.</p>

<p>If you want to live on campus, you must send in your housing deposit now. If you decide to not attend UF, you can work on trying to get some of the $200 back later.</p>

<p>you wont get the cash back.</p>

<p>This is copied from the UF website:</p>

<p>does anyone know if those deadlines for cancelling the contract apply only if you don't enroll at the university? What if you just change your mind about the dorms and prefer to live off campus?</p>

<p>oops, nevermind...I just read where they talk about that on the website. You have till May 1 to cancel.</p>

<p>If you enroll at UF and change your mind about the dorms to live off campus. you CANNOT get out of your contract unless you can document a financial or medical hardship or to go greek,you can petition to be released from the agreement. This is the website that tells you:
