Housing

Cancellation process

Occupants requesting to cancel their Housing License Agreement must submit an online Cancellation Request Form. A staff member from the Office of Housing & Residential Life will review your request and then send an approval or denial based on the reasons outlined in the Housing License Agreement in an email sent to your wayne.edu email account. The Cancellation Request Form can accessed through the home page of the housing self-service portal.

The option to appeal a denied cancellation request is open to all students whose initial cancellation request is denied.

  • Appealing a cancellation decision

    If your cancellation request is denied, you have the opportunity to submit an appeal.  This appeal will be reviewed by the Housing Appeals Committee.  This committee is made up of Wayne State staff from Financial Aid, Counseling and Psychological Services, the Campus Health Center, the Ombuds Office, and Housing and Residential Life.

    To pursue an appeal of a denied request to cancel, follow the information about the appeals process included in the cancellation denial email.

    1. You will need to submit documents and information regarding your personal situation and circumstances related to your cancellation request for the Housing Appeals Committee to review.
    2. When you submit your appeal documents, you will also have the opportunity to request to meet virtually with the Housing Appeals Committee.
    3. During the appeals meeting, the documents you submit will be reviewed by the Housing Appeals Committee members.  If you request to meet with the committee, you have the opportunity to highlight any information previously submitted and present additional personal information to be taken into consideration by the committee.
    4. You will receive a decision in an email to your Wayne State email account from the Housing Appeals Committee within 3-5 days after the appeals meeting.  
    5. If your appeal is approved, you must complete a check-out, following the process outlined in your decision email.
    6. If your appeal is denied, you are responsible for housing and dining charges for the remainder of the Housing License Agreement term.
    7. The decision of the Housing Appeals Committee is final, there is not another appeals level or process.
