Cancellation If you wish to cancel your Residential Life application, you must do so in writing. Neither oral communication with the Residential Life staff nor written communication with other offices constitutes cancellation of a Residential Life application. When you receive your assignment you are given approximately one week to return your lease and one month's rent. Leases become effective when signed and returned and cannot be cancelled. Rent and deposit cannot be refunded after the lease is returned.
Deposits Applying to live in an apartment requires a Residential life application fee and a deposit.
The deposit will remain on file with the University throughout your occupancy. Although apartment living is the choice of virtually all new students who attend the University, no one is required to live on campus. To be eligible for occupancy in an apartment, a person must be an enrolled student of the University of Alabama, as well as that person's roommates. For married students, the contract holder must be a current student or admitted to the University. Students who withdraw from the University must vacate their apartment within 24 hours as a condition of the withdrawal.
