Terminating housing contract?

<p>Anyone ever terminated their contract? I know it could be a hassle and whatnot but I don't know the specifics. I have an opportunity to live off campus and is rather do that for my sophomore year. I'm thinking about fees?</p>

<p>Academic Year 2014-15</p>

<p>The terms and conditions listed under Sections 12 and 13 in your contract fully explain the cancellation policy for University Residence Halls contracts. Here are a few highlights:</p>

<p>If you are not attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, you can be released from your University Residence Halls contract. To cancel, please log in to your My UW Housing portal and click on the button located on the left hand side that states, “I am no longer attending.” Notification by May 1 ensures a full refund of your housing deposit.</p>

<p>Contract releases to live off campus while attending UW–Madison are only considered when demand for housing exceeds occupancy. As always, you have an option of a buy-out of your contract at 85% of the remaining financial obligation of the annual double room rate.</p>

<p>If you would like to be considered for an off-campus release for Academic Year 2014-2015, please click here.</p>

<p>(Per the above link - looks like the deadline to request a release was July 13th - so I’d suggest that you call housing to inquire about a release in person: 608-262-2522)</p>
