UT Dorm Contract Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

<p>Recently, I have accepted the UT contract for housing as a first year student. I signed for it electronically and they sent me a confirmation email with the contract offer information. </p>

<p>However, before I was supposed to submit the $300 advance payment, I have decided that I will not live on campus; so I clicked "cancel" on the housing application. When I check my housing balance, it says I have "$0.00" due.</p>

<p>However, when I looked on their website and CollegeConfidential, they both say something such as "cancel[ing] your housing contract prior to moving into the residence halls will make your $300 advance payment not refundable." I had cancelled before submitting payment. </p>

<p>Does this mean I still have to pay the $300 advance payment for canceling my contract? Or am I not obliged to because the contract is not valid until I submit the payment? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>If “UTHousing” (CC screen name) doesn’t respond to your question, I would send a PM to him/her asking about it. That’s what I did when I had a dilemma.</p>

<p>I believe the contract isn’t valid until you pay the $300. Log into My Housing at <a href=“Sign in with your UT EID - Stale Request”>Sign in with your UT EID - Stale Request; and see if you have an active contract. If it says you don’t, then you’re probably fine. I’d call housing to make sure though</p>
