8.3. Contract Releases - Single Students

Housing contracts of students terminating enrollment at Michigan Technological University are automatically terminated upon proper check out of the Residence Hall.

Students intending to continue at Michigan Technological University may be released from their housing contracts, under one of the following conditions:

  1. A request to live locally with a blood relative, 21 years or older.
  2. A specific medical situation which prevents the student from fulfilling the terms of the contract.
  3. A financial situation that has undergone an involuntary significant change which was beyond the student's control.
  4. A serious extenuating situation which warrants a termination of the contract. Examples of extenuating circumstances include an upcoming marriage, a counseling related issues, etc.

The written request for release is acted upon by personnel in Housing and Residential Life.

Students who have applied for release from their housing contract and have been denied, have the right to appeal to the Director of Residential Life.
