Attention Seniors:
Important Information About College Housing Deposits and Cancellation Fees
As you review housing contract agreements from colleges, be sure to read the fine print—especially when it comes to cancellation fees. Some colleges may refund housing deposits if you decide not to enroll, but that’s usually the exception, not the rule.
If you choose to pay a housing deposit, it’s very important to understand the terms of the contract. Many colleges charge cancellation fees if you don’t end up enrolling and fail to notify their housing office by the stated deadline.
To avoid unexpected charges, take time now to carefully review your housing contract and mark any important dates for cancellations and notifications.
Hoosier Boys State is a program for boys going into their senior year of high school. It builds important real-world skills and leadership qualities in exceptional young men by creating a functional state government based on Indiana’s political process.
During this week-long program, you will actively collaborate to establish platforms for two made-up parties, participate in elections, propose laws, negotiate bills and enforce the established legislation from the local up to the state level. For more information, visit https://www.hoosierboysstate.org/.
