The deposit, less deductions for unnecessary wear and damage, will be returned to a student: (1) who graduates, (2) who is withdrawn from or denied admission to the University for scholastic deficiencies or (3) who requests a refund on completion of his or her housing contract period. The deposit will be refunded in full if a reservation is canceled prior to signing a housing contract. After a housing contract has been signed for the next academic year, deposit refunds are made according to the dates outlined in the housing contract. If a student cancels the academic year housing contract during the contract period, the housing deposit is subject to forfeiture. Additionally, any cancellation for the spring semester not outlined in the exceptions listed in the contract will be subject to a charge equal to 50 percent of the spring semester's room rent. The term of the contract is for the academic year, or if entered into after the start of the fall semester, for the remainder of the academic year. Exceptions to this policy may be made for students who cancel their contracts for the following reasons: Texas A&M University co-op assignment, student teaching assignment, academic restrictions, graduation or medical withdrawal.

Residence Hall AssociationThe Residence Hall Association (RHA) is a student organization with a two-fold mission: (1) to develop leaders within our residence hall community and (2) to act as the representative body for all on-campus students, excluding the Corps of Cadets. All residents are members of RHA with representation from each hall council meeting at a biweekly general assembly to share information and voice concerns to administrators about events/issues affecting on-campus life. RHA also allows for a number of student leadership positions, that include five elected executives and ten selected directors, in which students can serve. RHA also is involved in the creation of educational, social and community programming for on-campus residents. University Apartments

Off-Campus Student Housing and Services

A new interactive Internet service called Aggie Search provides students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week access to apartment listings and roommate search options. A roommate referral service is available to help students find a person with whom to live. The Off-Campus Living Survival Manual is updated each spring to introduce students to the community.
