Common use of Submitting a petition after the cancellation deadline Clause in Contracts

Submitting a petition after the cancellation deadline. A petition for Housing Contract termination will be considered when conditions exist that originated after the Housing Contract was signed, and over which the resident has little or no control. A decision to grant the petition to cancel the Housing Contract after the cancellation deadline is only made in exceptional circumstances. The resident must document the exceptional circumstance(s) in a petition that must be submitted to the Residence Life office. Generally, a resident is not released from a Housing Contract until the date upon which a petition is favorably decided. Petition instructions for the Housing Contract and the board plan can be found on the Residence Life website. Information about the appeals process can also be found on the Residence Life website.
