Tulane University - Housing and Residence Life

While we support all students in their academic endeavors, students occasionally find themselves in a situation where they need to take a break academically or transfer to a different institution to complete their education. The information on this page is for students who find themselves in one of these situations.

Withdrawing mid-semester, or mid-year
Transferring at mid-year

As soon as you are certain that you will be leaving Tulane, please complete a Cancellation Form which can be found on the Forms & Contracts page. In addition, be sure to notify your academic advisor, college, and other service departments including, but not limited to Meal Plans, Card Services, Financial Aid, and Accounts Receivable. If you will be taking a temporary leave of absence and plan to return to campus housing, you should also complete a Leave of Absence Form by downloading it from the Forms & Contracts page.

Please submit your completed forms to the Department of Housing and Residence Life in Irby Hall. You must also check out of your residence hall room. Please coordinate your checkout with your Resident Advisor or a member of your hall's RA Staff to avoid improper checkout charges.

Deadlines: If you are leaving at the end of the fall semester, all forms must be submitted by November 1 to avoid penalties. If you are leaving mid-semester, please submit your forms as soon as possible after making the decision to leave.
