Cancellation during the academic year

  • You may cancel spring semester assignments in the fall without paying a penalty if you submit your cancellation form by the deadline.
  • Rent for the semester will be prorated to the day that you turn in your keys and check out of your room OR the date that you submit the housing cancellation form. The later date of the two will be used for billing purposes.

Prorated rent

  • If you leave the MIT undergraduate housing system or are assigned to undergraduate housing after the start of the term, your rent will be prorated. This means that you pay only for the days you are scheduled to occupy your unit.
  • No refunds will be paid to students who leave during or after the last week of classes or who are removed from housing for disciplinary reasons.
