If you are graduating or withdrawing from Fontbonne University
You need to release your room and cancel it before December 1 to be eligible for a housing deposit refund if you are graduating in December or withdrawing from the university and are not returning to the residence halls in the spring.
You have signed a lease agreement to live in university housing for one full academic year. If you meet the above criteria and do not cancel your room, you will not receive a housing refund.
Follow these steps to successfully withdraw:
- If you are withdrawing from the university, complete paperwork with Academic Advising in Ryan Hall room 103.
- Start the housing cancellation process by completing a Room Cancellation Request online.
- Fill out Resident Hall Exit Survey from your RA. We value your opinion and it is also part of the exit process.
- A housing refund is granted, provided there are not financial obligations to the university, room damage charges or holds on your account.
- Post Office POLICY: If you are withdrawing from Fontbonne and leaving permanently, you need to change your address at your local post office to ensure continuous mail service. Your mail will be returned to the sender.
- You must make an appointment with your RA to check out, return your keys, access card and resident ID. No check-outs after 10 pm. All personal belongings must be removed before your room can be inspected by the RA.
- If you do not follow the checkout procedures, your student account will be charged the $100 fine. This will be taken out of your deposit refund.
After you move out, a housing deposit refund will be applied to your direct deposit account providing you have no financial obligations to the university, room damages and/ or cleaning charges, or holds on your account. If you are not enrolled in direct deposit, you will be issued a check that will be mailed to you in January.
