If terminating after the Contract begins, the Student is responsible for the full rental
amount for the entire length of the contract. The Student is required to complete an
"Intent to Vacate" form in person at the Central Housing Office, located in the Student

notification of cancellation to the Central Housing Office and a "Letter of Appeal" to the
Director of Housing, at Student Services Building 353 Ferst Drive NW, Atlanta, GA
30332-0459.
A Student desiring to terminate this Contract prior to the expiration of this Contract may
do so without full penalty only for reasons listed in Section A, below. The Student must
come by the Central Housing Office located in the Student Services building and submit
a "Letter of Appeal" in writing prior to withdrawal from Georgia Tech. Submission of

on days of occupancy: (1) Graduation, (2) Marriage, (3) Military, (4) Medical, (5)
Georgia Institute of Technology Co-op Program, (6) Georgia Institute of
Technology Required Internship, Study Abroad, or (7) Academic suspension. The
release must occur during the Semester for which the Student is requesting to be
released (i.e., for a marriage release, the marriage must take place during the
semester the Student is asking for the request for withdrawal within 30 days prior
to the requested effective date of contract termination.) Georgia Institute of
Technology shall determine the sufficiency of the documentation presented.
Otherwise, the Student will be responsible for the remainder of the Contract (rent
and fees).
B. Graduation withdrawal requires written verification of graduation from the
Registrar's Office. Marriage withdrawal requires the original signed marriage
certificate. Military withdrawal requires original military orders and withdrawal
from Georgia Institute of Technology. Medical withdrawal requires the signed
recommendation and supporting documentation from a licensed practicing

physician will review and make recommendations to the Director of Housing
for all medical withdrawal requests. All medical withdrawal requests are
unique. The types of situations that may warrant an approval of a Medical
withdrawal include, but are not limited to, unexpected medical condition or
change(s) to an existing medical condition. All requests for Medical
withdrawals will be determined on a case by case basis. Copies of marriage
certificates or medical documentation if applicable and not in English, a certified
English translation are required. Georgia Institute of Technology Co-op Program,
Georgia Institute of Technology Internships and Study Abroad Program require
written documentation from the appropriate Department Head or Dean. Co-op and
