Students wishing to cancel their housing contracts must submit a cancellation request. To do so, log into the housing portal then click on the "Cancel Contract" link. Select the summer housing option. Your request will be reviewed, and you will receive an email reply regarding your contract status. A cancellation fee may apply depending on when you cancel your contract and whether or not you are still attending Western Michigan University.
