The housing and dining services contract submitted to the University is a legally binding contract and creates a
financial obligation for the entire contract period. A student is released from that obligation only if the student cancels
enrollment with or withdraws from the University. If the contract holder is continuing enrollment at Indiana State
University, and wishes to be considered for release from the contractual obligation, this Housing Contract Release
Application Form , and any supporting documentation, must be submitted for review. Students are advised that a
contract release is considered only in certain unique situations, which are outlined below. A desire to experience off-
campus living is not a valid reason for a request to be released from a legally binding contract. The Housing and dining
services contract is a legally binding contract for the full academic year.
3. Reason for Contract Release Request (check all that apply)
1. Student Requesting Release (Print all information clearly)

Important Note: You should NOT enter into a legally binding lease, other agreement, or otherwise financially
commit to off-campus housing if you have not been released by the Office of Residential Life. If you were to do this
you would be under a financial obligation for two different places to live.
