In signing the Residence Hall Agreement, the resident agrees to the terms of the contract for a full academic year or the remaining portion of the academic year. Remember, the agreement is binding during the contract period, and if the resident moves out of the residence hall, but remains enrolled at the university, there will be a breach of contract fee, as specified in the Residence Hall Agreement. The Residence Hall Agreement may be canceled for any of the reasons listed below without breach of contract. See Policy #96 for more information.

• Graduation—A student graduating at the end of fall must provide written notice to Residential Living before December 1st.
• Medical Reasons—A physician must certify medical reasons or injury making it necessary for a student to live off campus or withdraw from the university.
• Marriage—Proof of marriage must be presented to the Department of Residential Living.
• Academic or disciplinary dismissal from the university.
• Participation in a WCU educational program which requires living off-campus.
• Official withdrawal from the university.

The Department of Residential Living must be notified of cancellations in writing and with appropriate documentation. Members of fraternities or sororities who wish to move off campus at the beginning or conclusion of official duties or to in organization housing may do so but will be considered to be in breach of their residential living contract. The university reserves the right to cancel a contract if a resident poses a problem to the interest, order, health, discipline, or general well-being of other members of the residential community or university. The university reserves the right to make all assignments and reassignments as necessary, including temporary accommodations during breaks and holidays.
