USC Housing

Returning residents contracting during the USC Housing Renewal program (UHR) who cancel on or before March 7, 2025 will not be charged the $800 confirmation fee. UHR participants who cancel from March 8 through the May 1, 2025 cancellation deadline will forfeit the $800 confirmation fee.

The first half ($400) will be credited to your account in the beginning of the Fall semester and the second half ($400) will be applied in the beginning of the Spring semester, as long as you fulfill the terms of your contract.

No, Spring admits will only pay a $400 confirmation fee. The $800 confirmation fee only applies to contracts for the whole academic year.

If you cancel after your rent has been billed, your rent will be prorated for the time you are here. If you are released from a full academic year contract at any point, rent charges are pro-rated through the end of the month in which the cancellation request was approved or the end of the month in which the space/unit was fully vacated and you have completed the check-out process, whichever is later. Your refund would be the remaining balance of the rent paid, less $400.
