If I am an International Student and my Visa Application is denied, am I eligible for a refund of my Residence Deposit?
If you notify Residence Services in writing (email or hard copy) within 10 days of your notification with a copy of your visa refusal letter AND before your residence move-in date, you will be eligible for a refund of your $500 Residence Deposit.
If I cancel my application after picking up my keys, what happens?

If you pick up your keys, then your contract has started. If you decide not to live in residence after that time, you must submit a Notice to Vacate form.

A resident who breaks their contract must pay, prior to moving out, the full rent up to the end of the contract period. If the notice is received less than 30 days prior to the move-out date, the resident will be charged an insufficient notice fee equivalent to one month's rent in addition to all other amounts owing. (See section 12 in Augustana Residence Agreement.)

Please see our Move Out page for more details on moving out of residence.
