Algonquin College Residence Cancellation / Withdrawal Request Form

The Residence cannot assume loss based on a student’s academic performance.  Students are financially responsible for Residence Fees regardless of academic performance.  It is recommended that you seek guidance from your program and/or academic advisor for alternate academic pursuits to remain an active student.   If you have withdrawn from school based on extraordinary circumstances, please see our appeals section.

No.  All residents must be full-time students.  The Residence conducts audits of enrollment, and should you not be a registered student, the Residence may cancel your Student Residence Agreement and issue an eviction while you assume applicable fees.  Some exceptions may apply, with explicit approval from Management.

Yes.  If you are issued an eviction from the Residence, the Residence Fees and associated cancellation fees still apply.  For consideration of extraordinary circumstances, you may be eligible to appeal the cancellation fees.

Residence is a full academic year commitment.  All post-secondary Residences have a cancellation policy, and ours is consistent with most Ontario colleges. In order to maintain competitive rates, we cannot assume financial loss of student withdrawals.

Once you have moved out of Residence, a current or new student may be assigned to your vacancy.  This does not mean they have assumed your contract and associated fees.  As the school year progresses, wait lists diminish and it can be difficult for the Residence to fill vacancies.
