<p>So, the 500$ is non refundable? I haven't decided if I'll be at UW yet...</p>
<p>Also, is it basically impossible to change our mind about hall preference/meal plan once submitted?</p>
<p>same question here!
I haven’t finalized my decision yet.</p>
<p>You can make changes to a submitted housing application until July 1. But it is officially submitted only after the $500 deposit is made</p>
<p>pumpkins, is the deposit refundable if I decide not to attend UW?</p>
<p>I believe the 500 is NOT refundable, unfortunately.</p>
<p>My parents do not feel like paying 500 when they don’t know if I’m going here yet… crap</p>
<p>I think you may have up to May 15 to cancel your housing and get your $500 deposit back. The contract has a few different dates regarding cancellation fees and giving up your deposit. I may be incorrect? Anyone else knows about this? You may want to contact housing directly.</p>
<p>thanks for the info, I’ll check it out!</p>
<p>This is a section from the housing contract - (sorry, the tabs are messed up from me cutting-and-pasting, but note “B”):</p>
<p>XI. Cancellation Prior to Check-in
A.
Prior to Check-in to the Residence Hall System, if I decide to cancel my residence hall application and Agreement for any reason including due to a change in my status as a student at the University, I must cancel at <a href=“https://ucharm.hfs.washington.edu/ucharm[/url]”>https://ucharm.hfs.washington.edu/ucharm</a>.
B.
If I submit my Cancellation on or before May 15, 2010, no fee will be charged and my Deposit will be refunded. If I submit my Cancellation after May 15, 2010, and prior to Check-in, I will be subject to the applicable Cancellation Fee listed in the table below. The applicable fee will be deducted from any payments I have made, and any balance remaining in my HFS account will be returned to me.</p>
<p>Deadlines and Fees for Cancellation Prior to Check-in
For Autumn Quarter:
On or before May 15, 2010 = $0
On or before June 1, 2010 = $200
On or before July 1, 2010 = $250
On or before August 1, 2010 = $300
On or before September 1, 2010 = $400
After September 1, 2010 = $500</p>
<p>C.
If I do not submit my Cancellation online and do not Check in to my assigned Room by 12 noon on the second day of instruction, the University will consider my application for housing withdrawn, terminate this Agreement, and reassign my Room. I will also be charged the $500 Agreement Termination Fee. Any request to Check in after 12 noon on the second day of instruction must be submitted in advance in writing to HFS.
D.
If I am assigned a Room after 12 noon on the second day of instruction and fail to Check in to my Room by my assigned Check in date, the University may consider my application for housing withdrawn, terminate this Agreement, and reassign my Room. I will also be charged the $500 Agreement Termination Fee.</p>
<p>Thank you! I have just verified that it IS refundable. I’m submitting now</p>
<p>Great! Good luck.
btw: I think the NSEOF payment of $272 is NOT refundable at all??</p>
