The Housing Office may also cancel meal plan contracts for reasons to include: withdrawal from university, catastrophic illness or accident, or some other specific incident beyond the control of the student.
Students in Arlington, Kalpana Chawla, or Vandergriff Halls who request a hall Change can request the meal plan cancellation as long as it is within the first week of classes. Student will continue to pay for the meal plan until the hall change has been confirmed. If Student declines hall change, the meal plan cancellation will be voided.

If the Housing Office approves your request to cancel, you shall deliver to the University payment of the daily contract rate calculated through the end of the week in which the Housing Office approved the cancellation (a week is defined as Monday morning through Sunday noon). If the Housing Office does not approve your request, you may appeal the decision by giving a written request to the Housing Office.

VI. FINANCIAL AID
It is understood and agreed that any University administered financial aid (scholarships, loans, grants, etc.) may be applied in total by University against amounts owed hereunder notwithstanding any payment plan option elected by Student. If financial aid fails to cover any portion of the meal plan contract, the student understands the balance of the meal plan contract will be the responsibility of the student. Further, the student understands the meal plan contract may not be cancelled, due to financial aid not covering all or any portion of the meal plan costs. Financial concerns or issues will not be considered valid reason(s) for meal plan cancellation.
I hereby acknowledge that I have read and agree to the terms and conditions on this contract. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A BINDING CONTRACT FOR THE ENTIRE CONTRACT PERIOD. A student under the age of 18 must also have this contract signed by a parent, guardian or other person with legal responsibility for Student. Failure of student to obtain Guarantor’s signature, if required, does not negate the Contract.
