Students who take advantage of the campus housing maintained by St. George's University do so pursuant to a contract entered into at the time they reserve a dorm room. This is a binding contract, defining the respective rights and obligations of the student and SGU. The following policy statement addresses the cancellation of housing contracts by students:
Vacating or failure to occupy assigned SGU campus housing does not release a student from his/her contractual obligation. Students who wish to cancel their housing contract must contact the Housing Office to address the request. The Housing Office will decide if an accommodation can be made for the cancellation.
Students living on campus, who wish to cancel their housing contract must take note that refunds are not available in all circumstances. These students should consult the following schedule to determine the fees applicable to their request for cancellation:
| Student Status | Cancellation Date | Refund Schedule |
| Withdrawing or dismissed students |
Withdrawal or dismissal from the University during the first 60% of the academic term | Partial refund based upon pro-rated daily charge |
| Withdrawal or dismissal from the University after completion of 60% or more of the academic term | No refund (1) | |
| Students on authorized leave of absence | Anytime during the academic term | Refund amount, if any, determined by the Housing Office |
| All other students | Anytime during the academic term | No refund (1) |
(1) A student seeking to cancel his/her housing contract who is otherwise not eligible to receive a refund may find a registered SGU student, who does not already have housing on campus, to assume all remaining obligations of his/her housing contract. The Housing Office in writing must approve the assignment of the housing contract for the assignment to be binding and the student will receive a refund based upon a prorated daily charge.
